Every year I make a list of classic mysteries to read and I always enjoy it. This year I'm going slightly rogue and mixing in two non-mystery classics as well - though I'm staying on the light side.
1. Midsummer Mysteries: Tales from the Queen of Mystery by Agatha Christie - Several collections of Agatha Christie short stories have been released. Some are rereads for me though some aren't and I will always take an excuse to read Agatha Christie short stories.
2. Have His Carcase by Dorothy L. Sayers - This isn't the next Lord Peter Wimsey that I have to read but it is the next one that I have on my shelves and I'm looking forward to it.
3. Mr. Zero by Patricia Wentworth - I'm slowly making progress through the non-Miss Silver mysteries from Patricia Wentworth.
4. Death and the Dancing Footman by Ngaio Marsh - This is the next Roderick Alleyn book that's on my shelf though I missing quite a few. If I enjoy this one even close to as much as I enjoyed the Marsh I read in 2024 I have a lot of shopping to do!
5. Touch Not the Cat by Mary Stewart - I have really enjoyed the Mary Stewarts that I have read and this is one I found at the used bookstore this year.
6. Rest You Merry by Charlotte MacLeod - I loved the first book in another series by MacLeod so of course I have to try the first in her Peter Shandy series
7. Parting Breath by Catherine Aird - This is the next in the Inspector Sloan series that I have on my shelf.
8. Miss Pym Disposes by Josephine Tey - This is a non-Inspector Grant book from Tey but is one that I've been wanting to read.
9. Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery - This is a reread of one of my favorite books and I'm so looking forward to it.
10. My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse - I've read a few Jeeves books but never the first one. Plus, my grandmother was a big fan of the Jeeves books and they remind me of her.
Any classics you're hoping to read this year?
