Cloak and Dagger Challenge Sign Up

Carol at Carol’s Notebook is hosting this challenge dedicated to everything mystery/suspense/thriller/crime genre. I like cozy mysteries and historical fiction that centers around a mystery. I went through my NOOK and physical TBR shelves and lo and behold, I got A LOT of books that fit this genre. So to help me read down my TBR pile, I am participating in this challenge. I am taking on the Detective level (16-25 books). I am not going to do a full TBR for this challenge, but I want to get to the following:

• Death of an Avid Reader (Kate Shackleton #6) by Frances Brody
• A Study in Scarlet (Lady Sherlock #1) by Sherry Thomas
• A Curious Beginning (Veronica Speedwell #1) by Deanna Raybourn
• An Expert in Murder (Joesphine Tey #1) by Nicole Upson
• Memories and Murder (Tourist Trap #10) & Murder in Waiting (Tourist Trap #11) by Lynn Cahoon
• The Hidden Moon (The Pingkang Li Mysteries #3) by Jeannie Lin
• The Anatomist’s Wife (Lady Darby #1) by Anna Lee Huber
• Ask Me No Questions (Lady Dunbridge #1) by Shelley Noble
• This Side of Murder (Verity Kent #1) by Anna Lee Huber

This gives me room to continue a series within the same year that I started the series without having to move up a level. Taking a look at the list, there are only two that are cozy mysteries; the rest are historical mysteries that are very cozy in the approach to the crime. So my theme in 2021 is cozy murder, LOL.
