I do need to explore Elly Griffiths more.

You're off to an excellent start. The Wife Between Us sounds interesting.

My review of By the Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie (Tommy & Tuppence #4) (4.0 stars)

I might be able to finish another Christie in January but I'm going to focus on my other challenges instead and my next book in my Author Monthly Focus will be The Ninth Directive by Adam Hall (Quiller #2) I hope to read 2 or 3 books by Hall in February

Thanks, Bill.

Me and you both. I think my February will be reading #2 in all the series i started and never finished.... *sigh*"

OK, Alondra. Your comment made me go to my book list (Series) to see how many series I've started and not yet got to #2.... I got down to the C's and hit 25... *sigh*... I'm great at starting it seems but not continuing.

I've enjoyed everything I've read by Chambers so far. Now to start the Wayfarers series.

Next one should be 154.

I've read it a couple of times. It is worth reading. I think I preferred the movie.. Not sure why.. And not because Julie Christie was in it.😃😉👌

I look forward to reading everyone's comments. I really enjoyed this book. I'll try to remember to post my review later. Don't want to give any spoilers. 😎

Thanks, Bill! Yes, I just started the sixth one. Kind of glad I have quite a few left to read."

It's always nice to have a few to look forward to when you enjoy a series.

I hope to read The Devotion of Suspect X this year.

Alondra wrote: "Kudos on your progress, Bill!!

I still will tackle Agatha Christie, but you can tell she is "a sign of the times", because the thinking can be very dated in some of the books.

Thanks, Alondra. And yes, agree with the 'sign of the times' comment.
