Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For the rules see her blog.
This week’s topic is Books with [Item] on the Cover. This means you choose the item! I’ve chosen Covers with House/s on the Cover.
The Blackhouse by Peter May – Detective Inspector Fin Macleod investigates a murder on the remote Scottish Isle of Lewis shrouded in secrets.
The House of Silence by Linda Gillard – a novel about families and their secrets – in particular one family, the Donovans, setting in an old Elizabethan manor house, Creake Hall.
The Flower Arranger at All Saints by Lis Howell – a murder mystery set in a Cumbrian village where the Phyllis the church flower arranger is found dead before the big Easter service.
Autumn Chills by Agatha Christie, a collection of autumn-themed mysteries. Twelve supernatural mysteries and murderous plots featuring Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple and Agatha Christie’s other favourite detectives.
Road Ends by Mary Lawson – a novel set in Canada and Britain about a family in crisis.
The Hog’s Back Mystery by Freeman Wills Croft – an Inspector French murder mystery novel a Golden Age police procedural. When Dr Earle disappears from his cottage, Inspector French is called in to investigate.
The Brontes by Juliet Barker – a biography of the Bronte family containing a wealth of information, with illustrations, copious notes and an index.
The Light Years by Elizabeth Jane Howard – the first in the Cazelet Chronicles. In 1937, the coming war is only a distant cloud on Britain’s horizon. The Cazalet households prepare for their summer pilgrimage to the family estate in Sussex.
Corduroy Mansions by Alexander McCall Smith – set in a London mansion block, telling the stories of its residents.
Agatha Christie at Home by Hilary Macaskill – this lovely book explores and illustrates the significance of Devon in Christie’s work, and of Greenway, her house in Devon in particular, its magnificent gardens and its beautiful setting.

That’s a really clever idea for Top Ten Tuesday, Margaret! I thought The Black House was an excellent book. And it’s good to see a Crofts there, too.

Great topic! I love books with houses on the cover too. They’re popular on the covers of books in my favorite genres: mystery/thriller and historical fiction. I’ve only read THE BLACKHOUSE from this list. I really like Peter May.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
