Good list. I will take the leap and vote first this time. I followed my usual practice to vote for half.

And the voting is closed. We'll be reading Agatha Christie next month. For those who have Kindle Unlimited, the book AND the Audible book are available for free. For those who don't, both of my libraries had the ebook, and one had the audio book as well.
Meanwhile, don't forget to finish your reading of Tarzan of the Apes and join us for the discussion starting next Wednesday, April 15th. |

It was nearly a unanimous vote this month! Be careful that there are multiple Kindle versions. Thanks for highlighting that there is an Unlimited/Prime option, or I might have missed it.

Goodness! The second month in a row a nomination of mine has been selected. The weight of responsibility is terrible.

I got it from Overdrive. So I'm good to read.

None of my Overdrive libraries have this book. However, Hoopla has the ebook and audiobook which may be an option for some people.

If you are looking for an audiobook version from Hoopla or elsewhere, get the version by Emilia Fox. It has some really good reviews (I forget where I read them).

I started this last night (downloaded the epub from P.G.) and found it rather engaging. It is something between traditional Christie and a victorian blood and thunder novel.

Amazon has The Man in the Brown Suit on sale today for $1.99 (along with a variety of other Agatha Christie titles).
