Kate Atkinson recommends
Murder Takes a Vacation (2025)
(Mrs Blossom Mystery, book 1)
Laura Lippman
"I genuinely loved it. Lippman's such a good writer - intelligent and literate - and at the same time knows how to write a compelling plot. I would say a page-turner if it wasn't such a cliche. . . I really hope that this isn't the last we've heard of Mrs. Blossom!"
The Thursday Murder Club (2020)
(Thursday Murder Club, book 1)
Richard Osman
"A little beacon of pleasure...SUCH FUN!"
