https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328014..."A Dead Red Cadillac" by R.P. Dahlke. This was a free Kindle title when I got it - surprisingly good story about a fashion model turned crop duster who becomes an amateur sleuth when her vintage Caddy is found in a lake with a corpse behind the wheel. Fun read.
A colour double whammy take down achieved with The Red Hand and The White People...shame they aren't two separate books!
Aw, I could have put the Black Arrow here. Guess I still can. I'll go delete if from the foreign setting thread. I read plenty of books set outside the US.

I already posted a book about Japan as one of my other country books so I will post this one here. Finished Feb. 19.

Will FergusonThis is a very humorous travel memoir. I really enjoyed this book.
Rebecca wrote: "Missed one: add The Green Mill Murder"You had this one added under the monthly special "It's not easy being green". Do you want to move it here or keep it there?
Ah! No, leave it green. I can't keep track!

I'm assuming I can count The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake for this challenge. Lemon is both a flavor AND a color, right?

You got it, Melki!

Binge reading at the library... one of my favorite things to do!

Just finished Frankie Dupont And The Lemon Festival Fiasco. Though the lemons are literal, not the color. But real lemons are lemon-colored.
#4: Brown Girl Dreaming Another that could be in either of two categories, as it was also a prize-winner.
Just completed:

John D. MacDonald is a GREAT way to get all your "Color in the Title" reads done!
Wondering if I can count The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Race Relations in America since it does technically have "color" in the title.

I finished The Black Minutes. Not bad, though it lost momentum about half way through. Or maybe I lost momentum. Momentum was definitely lost.
Started the year with the first in the series, ended the year with the second:Golden Son by Pierce Brown
Here we go for #5: Gingersnap by Patricia Reilly Giff. The title is, of course, the name of a cookie, but it is also the nickname of the main character, due to her ginger (red) hair). So I say it's a color.
