I'm sure you know there is a sequel to Folly Island. Both were great, but I still prefer the Mary Russell books! Can't wait for more of them. I had to pass on the Thursday Murder Club. Everyone else loves them; I can't get into them. I am reading ALL of the Agatha Christie books over several years. Hoopla has many on audio with a fantastic narrator Hugh Fraser. I have not tried Mrs. Pollifax before so just reserved the first one at my library! Definitely remember the Reader's Digest Condensed books!
I love Mrs Pollifax. They were on a reading list when I taught Language Arts in Canada 50 years ago. I also liked Angela Lansbury as Mrs Pollifax in a movie I viewed recently.
I LOVED and still LOVE Reader's Digest Condensed books. I read so many fabulous stories and authors as a kid. I am a person who gets turned off by vulgar language or explicit sexual content and many times I have turned to RDC books because they edited those kind of things out. I can only find them in thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, etc. now, but when I find them, I often buy them!
Oh my gosh! Of course I remember Readers Digest Condensed Books ! My mother subscribed to them and kept them in a book case with our World Book Encyclopedias ( very prized at that time ). 😁😁. Thankyou for the book recommendations!
*Immediately puts entire Mrs. Polifax series into library basket*
FOLLY also sounds amazing.
This is fun. Working in children's lit, the societal bias towards youth and all things young is obvious, but I'm picky with my adult fiction, so this is the perfect list of books for me.

I saw the Angela Lansbury thing when I was looking for images online. I'm going to have to find and watch that!

I enjoy your reading reccomendations. Mrs Polofax books ate fun to read.

I just finished Paladin's Grace on your recommendation. I loved it! Just started book 2. 🥰
