All Books

"A dual narrative, feel good mystery in which a woman, Frances, spends a lifetime trying to prevent her murder as predicted by a fortune teller at a country fair when she was just 17."

How to solve your own murder : a novel

Perrin, Kristen, author.

Nice and cozy, set in and about San Francisco.

Vera Wong's unsolicited advice for murderers

Sutanto, Jesse Q., author.

A favorite of Mechanics' readers!

The Fleur de Sel murders

Bannalec, Jean-Luc, 1966- author.

Recently adapted for the small screen.

The Marlow Murder Club : a novel

Thorogood, Robert, author.

The latest from the author of The Thursday Murder Club series.

We solve murders

Osman, Richard, 1970- author.

Can't beat a Christie classic. An all-time twist.

The murder of Roger Ackroyd : a Hercule Poirot mystery

Christie, Agatha, 1890-1976.

The latest (and apparently, the last) in a series of metafictional mysteries.

Marble Hall murders : a novel

Horowitz, Anthony, 1955- author.

Fantasy and mystery combine in this genre-bending work. Worth a look even if you're not a fantasy fan.

The long goodbye

Chandler, Raymond, 1888-1959.
