Goodreads Most Popular Books Published in 1940

Sad Cypress is one of my favorite books by Agatha Christie. I'm not sure how popular it is compared to her bigger books like Murder on the Orient Express or And Then There were None, but it's a great book.
Well, I've made 40 lists and I have 85 more years to go before I get to 2025, or really it will probably be 2026 by then.
