Just got a comment from Carolyn, at Riedel Fascination, another great lover of Dorothy Gilman! So I can’t resist, and to support her, I’m joining her reading challenge for 2014!
That’s perfect to replace the Cozies Challenge I did last year, and any time of mystery will fit.
Here’s How It Works
Between Feb 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015, I will try to read between 11-20 mysteries, that’s the Unearthing Clues level. I will first finish the Mrs. Pollifax series:
- Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore, by Robin Sloan
- The Kabbalist, by Yoram Katz
- Nightmare in Burgundy, by Alaux and Balen
- The Man With The Lead Stomach, by Jean-François Parot
- The Girl in the Empty Dress, by Lise McClendon
- Baudelaire’s Revenge, by Bob Van Laerhoven
- Murder in Pigalle, by Cara Black
- Death in Pont-Aven, by Jean-Luc Bannalec
- Moon in a Dead Eye, by Pascal Garnier
- The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair, by Joel Dicker
- Mrs. Pollifax Pursued, by Dorothy Gilman
- Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer, by Gilman
- Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled, by Gilman
- Crossing The Line, by Frédérique Molay
- The Phantom of Rue Royale, by Jean-François Parot
- Death at the Fair, by Frances McNamara
- Bed of Nails, by Antonin Varenne
- Irène, by Pierre Lemaitre
- Alex, by Pierre Lemaitre
- Silent Night, by Mary Higgins Clark
- The Monogram Murders, by Sophie Hannah
- Still Life, by Louise Penny
- The Unquiet Bones, by Mel Starr
- Murder in Montmartre, by Cara Black
CLICK ON THE BANNER TO JOIN THE FUN!

You know, if you finish “Therapy Of Spiritual Illnesses” closer to Feb 1, it fits “Ethereal”. However I’m here to thank you for being my energy-raising, newest guest in “My Kind Of Mystery”! There will be riddles throughout the year I’ve had fun drumming up, with cute prizes from my home for all three groups. If you do obtain Dorothy’s rare, Canadian-based, autobiography it counts too. My mystery theme is unusual because I’m inviting *everything* to do with mystery authors, even if it’s a tell-all. It’s a great pleasure to know you, Emma. Carolyn.

It is nice to see another Mrs. Pollifax fan out there! I hope to re-read the series this year – You have set the bar very high – reading so many mysteries in such a short time. Go for it!
