Crime Fiction & Thriller Bargain Book Box 45 (17 Books)

Two things worth flagging: Nita Prose has three titles in this box — The Mystery Guest (Book 2) and The Maid's Secret (Book 3) of the Molly the Maid series, plus The Mistletoe Mystery. Book 1 (The Maid) isn't included, so new readers jumping in at Book 2 will be missing the start. Worth noting in the blurbs or considering whether to flag it on the listing. Also two consecutive Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum titles (29 and 30) — a nice pairing for series fans.
