Sorry, group -- it's been a bad February and I'm more than a bit behind. Let's keep riding that wave of nominating books of your choice -- the sky is the limit!

The necessary boilerplate:
You may NOT nominate your own books.
If your book wins the poll you will be the moderator for the discussion.

Other than that, have fun and pick something great!

CBRetriever | 2551 comments Death in Brittany by Jean-Luc Bannalec because it's on my TBR pile and it looks like a series I'd enjoy

A summer hit in its original German, Death in Pont-Aven introduces readers to the enigmatic Commissaire Dupin, an idiosyncratic penguin lover and Parisian-born caffeine junkie whose unique methods of detection raise more than a few eyebrows. It is a book so atmospheric readers will immediately want to wander through the village’s narrow alleyways, breathe in the Atlantic air and savour Brittany’s seaside specialty dishes.

what's not to like about a penguin lover?

Valerie Book Valkyrie | 659 comments Fer-de-Lance (Nero Wolfe, #1) by Rex Stout , Fer-De-Lance by Rex Stout.

Classic Detective Story, first book in the Original Rex Stout authored series.
The colorful characters, especially those of the somewhat agorophobic detective Nero Wolfe who possesses phenominal deductive powers, and his dashing assistant Archie Goodwin, solve the clever murders of an immigrant and a college president. The vivid 1930's New York background tie this mystery together and add gripping layers to it.

What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall

Okay, so the poll will appear tomorrow morning. I do have to say that I'm super reluctant to put The Tragedy of X on the poll due to availability, I will add it. Voters beware.

No more nominations, please!
