It's time for another #WordWednesday! If you really knew how to work the dance floor, they called you this. What do you think? Should we bring it back from the 1920s to the 2020s?

One of the things i really love about Dorothy L Sayers and Attica Locke is how deeply interlocked their novels can be with the landscape. Recs for any other mystery writers who tie their work so well to place?
