2016 Cloak and Dagger Reading Challenge

CDChallengebadge2016
Since I have always been a huge fan of mystery/thriller novels,
this is another of the challenges in which I will enlist for 2016!
And since one of 2016 reading goals is to read/reread mystery series, this is perfect!! 
Here is my announcement posting!

This is being hosted by Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!
and Barb @ Booker T's Farm

And since I've already read the first six books in Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series, 
plan to finish reading Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series and Albert's China Bayles series, and plan to reread McCall Smith's #1 Ladies' Detectives and Isabel Dalhousie series, I'm in!!
With that list I am definitely aiming for Special Agent: Lynn!

LEVELS:

                                         Amateur Sleuth              1-10 books

                                               Detective                  11-20 books

                                               Inspector                   21-30 books
