‘Three Famous Murder Novels’ Watercolor Journal
‘Three Famous Murder Novels’ Watercolor Journal
Originally published in 1930, ‘Three Famous Murder Novels’ has been reimagined as a watercolor journal that leans into mystery – perfect for moody palettes, foggy cityscapes, and the occasional artistic plot twist.

A true original – crafted once, never again, like a first edition whose story ends with you.
