Please change your nomination to the 1st book and not the 6th. If you do insist on keeping this, then make sure it's listed in the voting as the 6th book of a series. I want to make sure everybody knows it's 6th of a series which is a very back idea.

Yes, I'm
PERFECTLY WELL AWARE, Jon. I even specified in my nomination that it wasn't the first book in the series, and gave my reasoning. Get over it.
To reiterate, I chose this book because it is the first book in which an ongoing key character, Agatha Troy, is introduced. And because there's really zero dependence on earlier books in the series, I see no downside whatsoever.
So yes, I DO insist on keeping this, and it's already received the necessary nominations, and no one did so with the information hidden in any way.
It's a good book, and a good entry point to the series. You can always go back and read earlier ones if you want, they're all quite short and quite enjoyable. Another reason I chose this book as a starting point, by the way, is that the narrator of the Audible book is Nadia May (real name: Wanda McCaddon). I'd listen to her read the sixth volume of the London phone directory.
