Books included in the British Library Crime Classics series. Available in the U.S. from Poisoned Pen Press. Not necessarily the BLCC edition - ebooks where available.

Books that I feel aren't great but still enjoyable. Good reads.

Books I enjoy a lot, if not quite as much as my Five-star favorites. Great reads.

Books not on Open Library but freely available as e-books at https://archive.org/ or elsewhere.

Books I love

Duplicate author entries to merge

Public-domain books to try that don't require waiting lists or short-term checkout

Books and authors I don't want to read again, because I found them overly boring, irritating, offensive, upsetting, or depressing. Not necessarily a comment on the books' objective qualities.

Authors whose works are strongly influenced by the antiquarian ghost stories of Montague Rhodes James. Based on the list first published by Jamesian scholar Rosemary Anne Pardoe in 1991, with updates at the Wormwoodiana blog:
