BINGO!
This reading year is off to a great start 
Can I get a mystery recommendation please?
I did it!
So, better if I translate the titles:
King Solomon’s ring by Conrad Lorenz for the alliteration because in Italy is “l’anello di re Salomone”;
Black Order by James Rollins as jolly;
Wisteria Lodge by Arthur Conan Doyle for “the title begins with W”;
Pebble in the Sky by Isaac Asimov (my fav author);
Arabian Nights for the purple cover
I read also “Picnic at Hanging Rock” by Johan Linsday
And now I’m reading “sunbird” by Wilbur Smith
I am looking for a mystery recommendation. Thinking about The Maid. Had anyone read In the Crypt with a Candlestick?
Thanks!

I have read several of these in your list, thanks for sending it! There are some I will be adding to my list. Be sure to read the new Cosimano book: Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead.
You might also enjoy Stephen Spotswood’s Pentecost and Parker mysteries. There are 2 in the series so far. They reminded me of old-time mysteries, i.e. Sam Spade. In order:
Fortune Favors the Dead (2020)
Murder Under Her Skin (2021)
Happy Reading!
Thanks! I definitely plan to read Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead, but it doesn’t publish until Feb 1st. I suppose I could get it from NetGalley, but I requested my library get it and I have the first hold when it comes in. I figured since we’re so close to February, I should probably wait for it. I will check out Fortune Favors the Dead. It looks good!
