The Novel Nomad | December 2020 Reading Wrap-Up @TheNovelNomad | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I did not achieve the Sherlock Holmes level but managed to graduate as a Police Detective at least. I thoroughly enjoyed the Golden Age and those set during the 1920-30s this Cloak and Dagger season - but I am ready for all the new reading of 2021.
