I'm so happy you'll be doing the 2024 challenge! I don't think I've read any of the books you've listed here on your TBR. Always great to discover more possible book choices for the challenge. Can't wait to see how you get on.

Jo: I'm a Vintage Mystery (pre-1960, mostly) fan, so a large number of these are from that period.

Elevens in titles are hard to come by, but Eleven Came Back is a good one. I enjoyed reading a book about the high desert of Wyoming while we were in a cold Maine winter. I reviewed this one on my blog too.

Rick: Yeah, eleven is difficult. This is the only one I've got on my shelves. I read it years ago and thought I was due for a reread.
