What mysteries are you reading at the moment? (2024-2025) Showing 1,001-1,011 of 1,011

I did start the audio book (on YouTube) of Envious Casca, which will go slowly as I typically listen only while doing housework or easy tasks, for example I plan to make banana bread this afternoon. Just about to start the ebook of Black Coffee which I know I've read before and vaguely remember not liking for some reason.

I read A Murder Too Many, fifth in a series from the 1980's I discovered recently and have been working my way through. The amateur detective is a retired botany professor, supposedly writing a book, but lured into murders by his curiosity and a desire to be helpful. The next book is set at Christmas so I wanted to be ready.

On to our buddy reads!

I am slowly reading The Blood-Dimmed Tide for this group’s upcoming read, but going to start Detection Unlimited by Georgette Heyer for another group’s upcoming November read. It’s a reread, but her GA mysteries are among my favorites - I love her humor.

[Jackie]

I love Detection Unlimited but will not do a re-read this time. Just like her romances I have sadly burned myself out by re-reading too often! But I will read & comment on the threads since I know the book well.

Right now I just started up Touch Not the Cat by Mary Stewart for an October book club read.

Have you read other Mary Stewart? I'd be interested to hear what you think of this one. I haven't read it but have been meaning to. I almost asked which group you are in that is reading it, then remembered I'm already in more groups than I can keep up with. Also, maybe it is a real (3D in person) book club?

Have you read other Mar..."

Hey Jackie, I've read Nine Coaches Waiting and The Crystal Cave, both of which I enjoyed a lot . Nine Coaches Waiting is more of the mystery variety, and The Crystal Cave is a retelling of the Arthurian legend so more fantasy. I like her writing style a lot. Oh, and I'm doing this for a buddy read in the Catching up with Classics group.

well, let me know what you think. Sounds like a good choice for October since it's supposed to be a little spooky I guess. (it's been awhile since I read about it, I just remember I want to read it at some point). I really liked Madam, Will You Talk?

I hadn't heard of that one, but will check it out. Thanks for the heads up about it. I also own The Moon-Spinners, but haven't gotten to it yet.

I finished the first in a hugely-popular series of adventures/mysteries set in 1770s Japan Shōtarō Ikenami's The Samurai Detectives An intriguing variation on Sherlock Holmes style crime, after a shaky start found this fascinating and entertaining.
