Sad Cypress - Agatha Christie (26/4/15) - Murder mystery
Welcome to the challenge, Caroline!
Thanks Jennifer. I'm thinking I might struggle with the "read a book with a shapeshifter" category. It's not really the sort of thing I usually read so I'd be grateful for any recommendations from anyone. (Free for kindle would be great!).

I do believe you can read it free if you use OverDrive with the Kindle app.

I'm nearly finished with this challenge - just 3 left to get, 2 of them being Physical Education, which always was my worst subject! I have a quick question though, when you say "an athletic looking person on the cover", does it mean specifically an athlete like someone wearing football or tennis kit or just someone who looks as though they probably work out? Thanks :)
