Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, and it is now being hosted by Meeghan at Meeghan Reads. For details of all of the latest prompts for January to March, see Meeghan’s post here.
Today the topic is Top 5 series I will finish in 2025. Which series are you planning to finish (or finish to most recent publication) in 2025?
I have many series on the go. These five crime fiction novels are just the tip of the iceberg! I’m not saying I’ll finish these series this year, but I’m hoping I’ll make some progress with them this year.
Ian Rankin’s Inspector Rebus series. There are 25 and I’ve read 24 – just one more to read, Midnight and Blue. This is the latest book in the series, so this is the only series that I will finish this year.
Reginald Hill’s Dalziel and Pascoe novels. There are 24 books in the series and I’ve read 16.
Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks series. There are 28 and I’ve read 20.
Ann Cleeves’ Vera Stanhope books. There are 11 and I’ve read 9.
Georges Simenon’s Inspector Maigret books – there are 75 and I’ve read 16. It’ll take me ages to finish this series – if I ever do!

Great choices. The only one that I haven’t read is the Maigret book but the others are all great. I loved The Dark Wives especially. Vera is just brilliant.

You’ve chosen some excellent series, Margaret. I want to get back to Peter Robinson’s work, too, and Simenon is always worth (re)reading, in my opinion. And I haven’t read a Hill just lately. I should…

Good list, Margaret! The only one that I’m current with is Ann Cleeves’ Vera books. I do love series and love trying to keep up with them. Hard to do – ha!

Your Maigret project trumps my Zola project which has only 20 novels but I’ve been working on for 20 years now and still have only read 9
