UPDATED: 2020 Mystery Series Catching Up List
2020 Mystery Series Catching Up List
1st BOOK SHELF
*Updated notes as of December 2020
I’m making this list because I’m tired of myself starting a new series, while having a series I already need to read hanging around my shelves.
This list will be used to help me stay focused! Other genres in-between will come as well.
Mrs. Murphy Series by Rita Mae Brown
Book #13: Cat’s Eyewitness
Book #14: Sour Puss
Book #15: Puss N’ Choots
Book #16: The Perrfect Murder
(The rest of the series I’ll check out from the library)
*Got absolutely NOWHERE here. Very unfortunate, considering this was once a beloved cozy series of mine. I honestly think I just grew out of it.
John Le’ Carre Smiley Spy Series
Book #3 The Spy Who Came Out of the Cold
Book #4 The Looking Glass War
Stand-Alone: A Small Town in Germany (This’ll be my first read)
*Didn’t get anywhere with Le’Carre. I started to read his stand-alone, The Little Drummer Girl, back in August. Unfortunately, I got distracted with other reads. Specifically that of Laura Child’s Tea Shop Mystery series. In that, I took on books 4-8 and made progress there instead. I also made progress in Margaret Maron’s series. So there’s that!
Suzanne Arruda’s Cameron Del African Series
It is vital that I finish this series this year. I only have five books left to read. The last two I’ll have to order. Nevertheless, I must finish this series in 2020.
✅Book# 3: The Serpent’s Daughter
✅Book #4: The Leopard’s Prey
✅Book #5: Treasure of the Golden Cheetah
(I have to order the following two for my personal library. Will not do until I’m done with BOOK #5)
✅Book #6: The Crocodile’s Last Embrace
✅Book#7: Devil Dance
*OFFICIALLY DONE AS OF OCTOBER 2020. I buckled down and knocked this series out. I enjoyed finishing it the whole way, too. I will say the 7th and final book, Devil Dance, was self-published. Not that this was necessarily a factor, but the quality of the series dipped here. There was a five year break between books 6 and 7, and I suspect the author didn’t have the same editor as previous. Nevertheless, I completed the series. Going to miss Jade del Cameron and her adventures.
