Looking at my list for March, it seems that everything I read took place outside of the US!
#17/90:

A church deacon is accused of a serious crime and found dead while in police custody. Although his death is ruled a suicide, his father pushes to find the real reason. Havers and Lynley must work to pull apart the secrets in this town to uncover the truth.
#18/90:
Kingdom of the Blind (Inspector Gamache #14) by Louise Penny (5/5) (Canadian mystery)
Gamache is dealing with both a perplexing will that leads to a murder and the lost opioids that led to his suspension from the Surete.
I just love these characters!
#20/90:
The Cuckoo’s Calling (C.B. Strike #1) by Robert Galbraith (4.5 /5) (British detective)
Strike’s life is falling apart: he only has one client in his PI business, creditors are hounding him, and he has just broken up with his girlfriend and is now living in his office. But a new client appears. The man insists that the death of his adopted sister, a famous supermodel, was not a suicide, but a murder.
Think I found a new series to read!

I decided to read this as it is going to be available on
Amazon Prime soon. I was laughing out loud with some of the bits! I hope I won’t be disappointed by the series now.
