This is an exciting, delightful, and unexpected surprise (as opposed to all
the surprises that *are* expected…?): Last week I learned that *Verlag
Knesebeck*, German publisher of the *Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries,* is
releasing Book 2, *How to Get Away with Myrtle*, this coming April. And
along with that, they have a beautiful new cover to share with you!
And here it is!
Could that be more fabulous?! I love every millimeter of it, from the
series icon, that silhouette of Myrtle on the case with her magnifier (and
bootlaces!) to the steaming locomotive to the deliciously spooky color
scheme to the railroad track border to the carpet bag (which, because
you’ve read *How to Get Away with Myrtle*, you know is an important piece
of evidence in the case)! But I think my very favorite bit might just be
the German title.
And so you can see them together, here’s Book 1, *Mord im Gewächshaus*:
I feel deliriously lucky to have two such incredible sets of covers for
these books–and even luckier to have new fans in Germany. My Alsatian
forbears are no doubt Deeply Disappointed in me, but I don’t speak German,
although I certainly enjoyed watching this blog review nonetheless! Thanks
to *Glimmerfee Bookshelf/Glimmerfee Bücherregal* for your vlog and for
sharing Myrtle with your subscribers.
Ok, don’t you just want to go to her house, drink some cocoa, and read a
mystery?
*Fröhliches Lesen,*
