Deborah Crombie recommends
Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library (2025)
(Mrs. Christie, book 1)
Amanda Chapman
"Amanda Chapman's Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library has everything a reader could want in a mystery, including the (possible) ghost of Agatha Christie, the queen of puzzle solvers. Add a whopping good mystery, engaging characters, a little romance, glamorous New York, and you have the perfect cocktail. It's a sparkling, witty gem with heart, and I can't wait for the next installment!"
The Paris Assignment (2023)
Rhys Bowen
"No one writes a wartime historical novel as well as Rhys Bowen. The Paris Assignment is a gripping, evocative, and skillfully plotted read, with a heroine you will root for right up to the satisfying conclusion. I couldn't put it down!"
The Truth Against the World (2023)
David Corbett
"The Truth Against the World is bloody amazing - a wild, enchanting ride across an apocalyptic America with characters who will steal your heart and surprises you won't see coming. The best novel yet from one of today's finest writers. I absolutely loved this book."
