Peggyzbooksnmusic | 604 comments PROMPT #9: Animal in title
The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog #7 Amelia Peabody by Elizabeth Peters
Finished 11-22-21
Rated 4 stars
This episode is more Adventure genre then Murder Mystery. There is a murder but it's not really important to the story. I loved the beginning and ending but the middle seemed to drag in my opinion. Excellent Audio narration by Barbara Rosenblat.
Total challenge completed: 28


Peggyzbooksnmusic | 604 comments PROMPT #18: Set in 1920's India
The Shadows of Men #5 Wyndham & Banerjee by Abir Mukherjee
Finished 11-28-21
Rated 5 stars
Love this series!
Total challenge completed: 29


Peggyzbooksnmusic | 604 comments Finished the year with 29 reads for this Challenge. Actually better then I expected as I read a lot of non mystery historical fiction plus some non fiction and contemporary fiction. Enjoyed finding new authors and series by following our member's posts. Happy reading in 2022!

John Good job - this was a tough one!


Peggyzbooksnmusic | 604 comments John; Thanks! Had about 10 additional titles available through our library that would have worked for some of the prompts. But I got distracted reading other genres. Some of your reads have ended up on my TBR list!

QNPoohBear | 761 comments The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog is my favorite of the whole series. It breaks my heart and makes me smile at the same time.

Pamela; Thanks! Agree it's one of the best historical mystery series. Wonder how long until he'll finish #6.

QN; This was the first in the series that I was able to listen on Audio and really looking forward to listening and reading more of this series!
