1. Hard to choose, but I‘ll mention the tagged book, the 15th and final installment in Elly Griffiths‘ Ruth Galloway series. 2. I‘ve preordered The Curse of Penryth Hall, plus I‘m planning to read some holiday-themed cozies in December (by Donna Andrews, Anne Perry, M.C. Beaton) 3. Trope? Hmmm, one would be when the detective gets too close to the solution and becomes a target of the killer - adds a thriller element. @RaeLovesToRead
