Sally906 | 96 comments OK people I need help.

For a Yahoo group I belong to I need two more books to finish my mystery challenge:

1. Read a mystery title that has a time in it - e.g. a day of the week, the word week, a month, the word month - in it, even a specific time.... like 2:00 on Wednesday

2. Read a mystery where the first word of the title of the book starts with R

Now as the topic heading hints, I am a cosy mystery lover who likes amateur sleuths and doesn’t mind a touch of romance or paranormal but nothing edge of the seat and certainly no in your face gore - any suggestions? Aussie author would be nice but happy to accept any author :)

Leonie (leonierogers) | 3571 comments Rat race by Dick Francis and Risk by Dick Francis might help with the R category.

Andrea | 2187 comments You've probably already read them, but two of the Isabel Dalhousie mysteries fit: The Right Attitude to Rain (unless 'the' disqualifies it) and The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday.
