I've just started a story in my third book, in which our hero murders an enemy by using a stamp!
Always wanted to combine my two interests and I finally got a plot line, anyone intrigued, or maybe couldn't be less interested?

I did think about a fictional murder along the same lines, but using a different hobby - gardening. I did mention this on one of the gardening forums for some research - disposal of the body was my main concern!

As for stamps - not quite your genre but there's a great children's book - Never Mail an Elephant!

Stamp themes - science, nature, postal history, maps, nice stamps.

Plenty in the UK, although they are filled with calories. However, there are more and more self-adhesives around, with the low value Machin stamps being self-adhesive.

I wonder if that would work if plastered with stamps.
