Will this title work? (from Macbeth)

I don't know if this will help anyone but I made up a spreadsheet to help myself organize possible books for the challenge:

I wish I could take credit for it but I "borrowed" it from another task maker on another challenge board. ;)

I'd like to do this:

Select a favorite book/author, go to the book's main Goodreads page and click the "Lists with this book" link. Select and read a book by a "new to me" author from one of these lists.

If I get to feeling ambitious, I might read The Count of Monte Cristo from the Victorians! list. It is combo with 10.4 and has some very nice style points as well. :)

Susanna Kearsley was born in Canada so she would be a combo with Task 20.9

Does Alexander McCall Smith count as being born in South Africa?

Elizabeth, I am so sorry about your loss.

10.3 The Plus
The Likeness

This is the second book in the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French. The main focus in this story is not Rob Ryan but his ex-partner, Cassie Maddox. Cassie is thrown undercover to live with possible murder suspects. The novel is filled with well defined characters each with their own personality, backstory, and motives. The combination of Tana French's words and Heather O'Neill's narration brought the story to life for me. I highly recommend the audiobook version. There was one downside to listening to the audio version...because of the regular use of the f-word in French's writing, I was a bit limited to when I could "listen" without earphones. ;)
