Now we're well into the New Year, it's time for everyone to nominate a book for our May 2022 group read.

We'll continue on with our different tasks each month:

For May's read we are looking for A book where the title starts with the letter "M" (ignore "a", "an" or "the")
So, nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book to cover the May task :)

Don't forget - 1st in a series, if a series

This thread will be open until 10th April, then nominations will go to the vote.

Authors and publishers, please don't nominate your own work!

Malice by Keigo Higashino - 1st in his Kyoichiro Kaga series.

ETA: I just looked on GR & it's actually #4 in the series but the first to be translated to English.

Will look for a replacement, although I'm happy to second Phrynne's choice.
