  5. I'm close to you and Cath -just finished #17.
    Great seeing all the Agatha Christie books; I loved how Precious and Grace finally met their author; and Daddy Long-Legs! such a great story; and finally, I've been meaning to read Strong Poison as I've heard such great stuff about that series.
    Wonderful to see the update.

    1. Isn't that just something. So surprising to me.
      Loved all the ones you mentioned. SP is very literate. It was a treat to be within its pages. And there are beautiful new editions of the Harriet Vane Wimsey books.
