Easter Mystery Book List

I have to admit that I haven't read many of these Easter mystery books. I have been meaning to read more of them, but I find that I may read one book during an Easter season, but because I am such a slow reader, by the time I finish that book, it's time for me to pack up the rest of the seasonal mysteries. So, I have several that I have saved for the next year.  Maybe this year I will read more than one! I hope that you are able to read more than I have been able to read!

(I have a few Mother's Day, Passover, Father's Day, Yom Kippur, Fourth of July, April Fool's Day, and even Labor Day books hidden in with the Easter books.....)
