My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Her Royal Spyness

K.M. Krenik ❤️ loved this book because...

This was the first in a wonderful historical fiction mystery series. I adore all the author's books. But I think this particular series is my favorite, set back before World War II, when Queen Elizabeth was a little girl. The main character is an accidental sleuth, and very funny! There is even a little romance thrown in. With a mysterious handsome Irishman. A light, irresistable, fun series!

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Mousetrap

K.M. Krenik ❤️ loved this book because...

This was my third time reading Mousetrap. Agatha Christie is one of my favorites. But the thing I love most about this is that it is a play. I enjoy reading the characters out loud. The characters in every Agatha book are colorful, suspicious, and so much fun! Of course, I love the who-done-it plot best of all. No spoilers here!

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Operation Joktan

K.M. Krenik ❤️ loved this book because...

This was an engaging thriller, set in the Middle East. The plot is fiction, but based on reality and the scenarios in the book could certainly end up happening. Some of what was written in this book did end up happening AFTER it was written. I like that the author has a deep knowledge of bible prophecy and that is what inspires his writing.
