…also, I want a story where Harriet Vane and Agatha Troy meet. They have so much in common! They’re both prickly artists, both pursued by detectives who are tragically awkward about love (although Alleyn at least has the dignity not to propose to Troy every five minutes), and both at one point in their lives murder suspects, although Troy only sipped of the cup that poor Harriet drank nearly to the dregs.
Yes, indeed, this should be a thing! Absolutely.
I'm glad you're enjoying them; I said Gaudy Night was the best. I read GN first and wanted the series set in women's 1930s academia where possibly Harriet or someone might solve a mystery if they had time and I was rather disappointed to have to follow Peter about solving murders instead, good as many of those are.
I am a little concerned that one Nesbit will lead to another – and with Nesbit there seem to be absolute piles of others for it to lead to – but after all there are worse things.
Oh, yes! You could definitely do a lot worse than lose yourself in Nesbit for a while. I haven't re-read The Railway Children for many years, but it as a child it was definitely one of those re-readable classics that justify the name.
