Best Books of 2017


  • Because of illness and my laptop crashing, I am late posting the books I enjoyed the most last year. I read more Agatha Christie novels than any other author. One reason is that my Kindle crashed and I read paperbacks from our apartment library and there were actually some of her books I had never read before.
  • The following books are in the order I read them, not in the order of whether I liked them best:
  • 1. Mr. Parker Pyne, Detective by Agatha Christie
  • 2. The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly
  • 3. The Cat Who Saw Stars by Lilian Jackson Braun
  • 4.The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
  • 5. The Mark of the Assassin by Daniel Silva--the first of his books that I've read and loved it!
  • 6. Marnie Malone by Patricia Gligor--wonderful climactic scenes
  • 7. Seldom Traveled by Marilyn Meredith--entertaining, intriguing and a great climax
  • 8. Reread Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
  • 9. The Beach House by James Patterson and Peter de Jonge
