Hi Brenda, Would Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens fit into this challenge as it is listed as a mystery? Is it enough of a mystery?
Brenda wrote: "To my mind, Where the Crawdads Sing could be classed as Historical Mystery - so yes :)"Great, thanks
What about this can I put this in mystery I know it’s historical fiction. The Pindar DiamondAnd also this The Aviary Gate I might be stretching it. Lol
Mod
Brenda wrote: "Joanne, even though they may not "seem" to fit our genres, both of them have "mystery" on the book's profile page. So I'm guessing they should both pass as historical mystery. Hard to know when I'v..."Mmm ok I read the Pindar and see if it’s ok 👍 Thanks 😎
Finally got my list together - now wait a few more days then start reading!! ☺ That was fun.

Rhondda, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have been looking for an author whose first name started with an X. Now to get The First Fingerprint. Since neither of my libraries own any of his books, I will need to try inter-library loan. (Crossing my fingers that other libraries will loan to mine.)
