Witness in Death by J.D. Robb 10/9

5. Lucy van Pelt

He is Charlie Brown's best friend.
Read a book where one of the characters believes in some myth or entity.

The Cat-Nappers by P.G. Wodehouse 10/5

Read a book featuring a "brilliant" character.
Artists in Crime by Ngaio Marsh 10/18
Troy is a brilliant artist.

Read a book where the main character had an affinity with music.
