I finished From a Far and Lovely Country: No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (24) by Alexander McCall Smith

Love this series. Makes you want to visit Botswana

Oops, I didn't know this was set up.  I've been waiting and decided to look for it.  I'll get it set up in a day or two.

Alice, it's me again.......

For this one, 

1. Holiday  - Read a cozy mystery that takes place during a holiday, an holiday counts

is it supposed to read any holiday counts?

Lynn yes any Holiday

I finished 

Nemesis by Agatha Christie.  I think itis the best Ms. Marple I have read. Written in 1971, I think this is the last Miss Marple she wrote as a novel. There are short stories.  You can see she was wrapping up the character. Miss Marple still has her wit and charm. If you are Miss Marple Fan this is a good one.

Yes, I think that book is the last Miss Marple book. Always loved her and Hercule Poirot. I'm glad to be doing this again, after the last year I had I am looking forward to being able to read a good amount (100 or above) of books again.  My Dad suffered seven months of illness and passed away in July. Since then I have been going through probate, selling the house, and settling the estate, etc. A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year, to borrow from a book title. But it is a new year and I'm looking forward to many good things.

I finished Murder on an Irish Farm (An Irish Village Mystery) by  Carlene O'Connor. Not as good as the previous book. Much of the book focused around solving a murder from 50 years ago.  Still loved the Irish setting. 

I finished  Dial P for Poison by Zara Keane. I new to me author. Set in Ireland. Enjoyable first in series books. good characters nice setting.
