You’ll have to wait a little longer for my Best of 2025 list (I'm having a hard time narrowing it to ten) but here is my December reading. I think my favorite was the newest installment of the Thursday Murder Club. Osman's gift for conveying what his characters are thinking is impressive. That is why I think a voiceover would have made the Netflix adaptation even stronger (also it should have been a multi-part series).
Suspense
The Charity Shop Detective Agency by Peter Boland (2022). Several months ago, I started listening to this mystery about three friends who volunteer at a charity shop somewhere near Dorset. They are upset when a favorite client is murdered and decide to (somewhat ineptly) help the police with their investigation. When my library canceled its Hoopla subscription, I was left stranded mid-story and it took quite a while to find a print copy from ILL. Probably not worth the effort but I hate not finishing a book.
