I finished From a Far and Lovely Country: No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (24) by Alexander McCall Smith

Love this series. Makes you want to visit Botswana

Oops, I didn't know this was set up.  I've been waiting and decided to look for it.  I'll get it set up in a day or two.

Alice, it's me again.......

For this one, 

1. Holiday  - Read a cozy mystery that takes place during a holiday, an holiday counts

is it supposed to read any holiday counts?

Lynn yes any Holiday

I finished 

Nemesis by Agatha Christie.  I think itis the best Ms. Marple I have read. Written in 1971, I think this is the last Miss Marple she wrote as a novel. There are short stories.  You can see she was wrapping up the character. Miss Marple still has her wit and charm. If you are Miss Marple Fan this is a good one.

Yes, I think that book is the last Miss Marple book. Always loved her and Hercule Poirot. I'm glad to be doing this again, after the last year I had I am looking forward to being able to read a good amount (100 or above) of books again.  My Dad suffered seven months of illness and passed away in July. Since then I have been going through probate, selling the house, and settling the estate, etc. A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year, to borrow from a book title. But it is a new year and I'm looking forward to many good things.

I finished Murder on an Irish Farm (An Irish Village Mystery) by  Carlene O'Connor. Not as good as the previous book. Much of the book focused around solving a murder from 50 years ago.  Still loved the Irish setting. 

I finished  Dial P for Poison by Zara Keane. I new to me author. Set in Ireland. Enjoyable first in series books. good characters nice setting.

I found this book when I searched for cozy mysteries beginning with a Z and used it for the z in COZY.....is it really a cozy?  I'm not sure but I"m going with it.

Zero Degree Murder  (Search and Rescue, Bk 1) M. L. Rowland

I'm reading a series about some old ladies who have adventures.

some of the books are not mysteries, just adventures, but some are mysteries. Would it make sense to use only the ones that are mysteries for this challenge?
