I've read five of these, which is pretty good for me. All were worth reading too.
Thanks for the St. Patrick's Day list!
I have read a lot of Bruen and Tana French (not here_ but none of the others. I loved Joyce and Mary Lavin but that was long ago and far away.
I've read 5 from the list also. Decided to start 'Peeler' in honor of the occasion and liking it very well so far.
