I cant find anything by Ethel Lina White (1876-1944) in the catalogue? She wrote The Wheel Spins, which was the basis for Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes.

Here is a 1907 story by her entitled "The Call of the Tiger". It could become part of a short mystery collection.

A good choice for a short mystery collection. Here is a link to the original in The Strand magazine Sept 1907

This one cries out for a good Australian accent!

Well I HAVE an Aussie accent, don't know if you call any Aussie accent 'good' haha, but I'll have a read and see if I'd like to give it a go : )

I always say - Australians do not have accents, everyone else does. And anyone can read anything with any accent they wish

(maybe except for Robbie Burns

)

Well, Anne, I always used to say that Californians didn't have an accent, just an attitude--but that was before I moved to California 33 years ago.

Hope all are safe and well,
