I love your lists! Isn't it amazing just how many Christmas-related mysteries there are.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm reading The Diva Cooks a Goose at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pattie.. It really is amazing.. I've broken it down into 5 lists, and they're all this long!
ReplyDeleteMy word! Who knew there were so many and this is just a fifth. I'll share this on my mystery writer Facebook page. Thank you, Janet!
ReplyDeleteI may just have to randomly choose one book from each part of the alphabet. I had no idea there were so many.
ReplyDeleteI also love and appreciate your lists!
