My TBL is at 16, but that includes 7 Maigret's, so I should clear this lot this year.

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo, read by Jamie Parker.  I chose this as the second in a 2 for 1 offer and because Jamie Parker was reading it.  The story itself wasn't interesting, but as an insight in the life of a young woman in South Korea in the last decades of the 20th century was worth hearing.

The Yellow Dog by Georges Simenon, read by Gareth Armstrong.  Set in a small town near Rennes, Maigret is called in to investigate a shooting at a local businessman.  

A Man's Head by Georges Simenon, read by Gareth Armstrong.  This time in Paris, Maigret is convinced a man accused of murder who is about to be executed wasn't guilty and sets about proving the fact in a typical unexpected way.

An Unfortunate Christmas Murder by Hannah Hendy, read by Jenny Funnell.  Second book in the Dinner Lady Detectives series.  An easy listen, perfect for Christmas preparations.  I will be continuing with the series.  It's not in Agatha Christie's league, but I think Miss Marple would approve of Marjorie Butcher-Baker and they'd happily have a cup of tea together.

Rumpole and the Primrose Path by John Mortimer, read by Bill Wallis.  More entertaining stories of Rumpole.  As She Who Must Be Obeyed would probably agree, I enjoy a few stories and then I wouldn't want to listen to more for a while.
