STONE COLD DEAD, the third Ellie Stone mystery, begins on New Year's Eve. Full disclosure: I wrote it. ;-)
Thanks! And, a terrific book!
Just finished Ann Cleeves' Harbour Street which took place at Christmas. Her Vera series is terrific. I noticed Raven Black on your New Years list. I have had this on my shelf for sometime now, so what a great way to bring in the new year.
Many thanks for all the celebratory lists during the year & all the best to you in 2016!
This is really good.
