for 1977 I recently just read my first ever Ruth Rendell "A Judgement In Stone" which I thought was excellent, right from the opening sentence: "Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write." |

I’ve got about 10 to go - just finished what I thought would be my 1995 book, checked the blurb and realised that although Goodreads said published in 95, it’s actually 1994 so I need to find another!
