I’ve been reading the following, skullduggery pleasant series, the knitting anarchism, hillermam leaphorn mystery, looking for dark winds books, again, American Indians stories. Longmire series. And I listen to Harry Potter endlessly.
Sandi, really enjoyed this recap. I will keep it handy for all of the leads. So happy you enjoyed your first Mrs. Pollifax! Dorothy Gilman had that wonderful skill of making each of her books quite memorable. She lead an interesting life in her later years writing these books after a contentious divorce and moving to Maine I believe, to basically live off the land .... with a little help from a nice financial settlement. Wonderful to have them in audio with Barbara Rosenblat!
Due to your previous post, I am in the middle of reading the ebook version of Elly Griffith's Crossing Places. It is keeping me up too late at night!!! Enjoying her unique English character and that this is written before cell phones and the like with a lot of references to Bruce Springsteen and his era. I see that her books are popular on Libby!
Wishing you new ease of mobility after your surgery and a quick recovery!
I remember enjoying the Mrs Murphy murder mystery series written by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown (lol, Sneaky Pie is a cat). Looks like there are 33 books now and I need to look at them again!
I just finished Richard Osman’s The Bullet That Missed- book 3 of 4 in the Thursday Murder Club Series.
Four retirees living in a retirement community in England form the Thursday Murder Club. They select a cold-case to solve. The characters are delightful and the author keeps you guessing to the very end.
Thank you for compiling this list. I have a friend who also burns through audiobooks so I'll be forwarding your post to her :-) Best of luck with your knee surgery and recovery!
Thanks so much for the reading list recap! I'm going to start with the Mrs. Polifax series. When you start reading Donna Leon's Inspector Brunetti series, I'd recommend taking a break after each one...he is pretty cynical about the 'justice' system in Venice, and the bad guys often get away with too much due to their position in society for me. That being said, I keep going back for more! I hope your knee surgery goes very well and recovery is as quick as possible.
You're so very welcome. I hope you enjoy Mrs. Pollifax. I found her delightful. And thanks for the warning about potential burnout on Inspector Brunetti. My to-be-read list is long, so I'll have no problem spacing those out.

Thanks for the suggestion! I remember reading some Rita Mae Brown in the distant past, but I don't remember this series. I'll have to check it out.
