Nick (doily) | 39 comments Mystery Book Challenge. Dec 1, 2022 thru Feb. 28 2023.

HI everyone. This is my first challenge in this group. Hope I am in the right place.

I will attempt Level 2 and read 12+ books. I am choosing 13 as a goal.

The 13 books will match the following numbered tasks from the task list:

🔍 1. Read a book "involving a mysterious death or a crime to be solved". I read Crime of Privilege by Walter Walker. 1-22-23 From the GR home page: “A murder on Cape Cod. A rape in Palm Beach. All they have in common is the presence of one of America's most beloved and influential families. But nobody is asking questions.” Crime of Privilege by Walter Walker
