That also completes my 2020 book challenge!
Just finished From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg.Just started Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Rogue Male turned out to be even more enjoyable than I expected. Rich in language and ideas as well as being full of tension. I've moved on to Hermit which feels very promising indeed.
Just finished Hannibal Rising, not sure about it, not the backstory I expected after the other 3 books.
Just started The Coroner not sure at the moment as it is so different from the TV series, I knew part of the difference but not all.
Still reading All the Pretty Horses but have also just started reading John Le Carre's A Perfect Spy which is just majestic.

I agree with you about Revelation. I generally enjoyed the Shardlake books :-)
Not read Merritt's book so cannot comment
