A three-way run-off vote would be fun. But of the three, I admit that Still Life is the one I'm least interested in (re-)reading. It and A Cold Day for Murder would be re-reads, and for all I know the Ambler too, though it's so far in the past I no longer remember if I've read it or not. I probably did, since my mother always passed her library books to me, and she read pretty much everything Ambler wrote while she lived.

I was hoping My Real Children would have done better, but since it hasn't and Still Life still has a chance, let's go with Still Life for the win.

Less than six hours to break the tie or put another one altogether in the lead.

I don't think there has been much voting the past couple of days.

It's odd, since we often have a lot of late voting, but unless a lot of votes come in in the next 4minutes, we're going to have a two book runoff.

And it's a runoff. And I have no preference, really. I just finished a re-read of one, and quite enjoyed it, but the other looks promising as well.

I'll vote for the one that I forgot that I owned, until looking it up just now.

I own one of the two and can get the other from Overdrive. But the one I own, I've read and the other I've not. so the one I've not is the one I'll vote for.
