I have not heard or read any of these.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think reluctant readers, who can be coaxed into reading them would enjoy mysteries. Everyone likes the satisfaction of trying to figure out who dunnit. I'm off the board this week with nonfiction favorites
ReplyDeleteThose cozy mysteries look so fun!

I didn't even think of cozy mysteries for this topic, but you're right. They're light, fun, easy reads. I can see a reluctant reader picking one up and enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I'd first think of the reader's interest. If its general fiction and light I'd suggest any Delafield, for vintage mystery Briggs and Verity Knight. Cozy mysteries there are dozens of authors. Serious mystery P D James, Elizabeth George.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting list of books you offer. I would think at least one of them might tempt a reluctant reader!
ReplyDeleteI’m adding these books to read. I’m so excited. Thank you.

That mountain climbing book sounds really interesting. I've never seen it before.
