Last year Rick over at the Mystillery decided that we needed to stretch our mystery-reading muscles and start training for a Mystery Marathon. [Full disclosure: I've been in training for this since my mom introduced me to Nancy Drew.] For each marathon we need to read at least 26 mystery books. It looks like I'll finish five marathons in 2024, but this year our trainer Rick has told us not to overdo. So one marathon and we can head to the refreshments tent and relax.

A change for 2025: There is no longer a short story requirement. That seemed to be a sticking point for many participants. So it is just 26 books of any length.
