Richard Osman
Rave BookPage \"...an outstanding mystery novel, rife with red herrings and numerous suspects, as well as Osman’s signature humor and heart. It’s a pitch-perfect blend of the cozy mystery and thriller genres ... Mystery fans have been richly rewarded with We Solve Murders, and will be happy to know that Osman has more in store for these characters.\
Nita Prose
Positive BookPage A delightful sophomore novel that showcases how Molly has changed since the first entry in the series: She’s as sharp and honest as ever but has grown into her roles of head maid and girlfriend ... Molly’s a singular character—she’s intelligent, unfailingly honest and the epitome of a professional maid—and readers will enjoy checking in to the Regency Grand to follow her and her exploits.
Richard Osman
Rave BookPage Emotional ... Offers more than the tightly plotted mystery that readers have come to expect from Osman’s work ... Equal parts well-plotted mystery, scintillating repartee and deep reflection on what it means to love and live.
Jesse Q Sutanto
Rave BookPage A delightful cozy mystery that brims with humor and heart ... Sutanto hits all the right notes in this cozy mystery, perfectly blending meddling, murder and found family.
Katie Siegel
Positive BookPage Charlotte Illes Is Not a Detective has a wonderful, engaging premise ... Relatable, imperfect, funny and brave, Charlotte is a high point of the novel ... Siegel’s dialogue is fresh, funny and authentic to her Gen Z characters.
Katherine Kovacic
Positive BookPage Author Katherine Kovacic does an excellent job placing readers in the swinging decade with references to music, fashion, cars and more. A fun, fast-paced read, Just Murdered also has a great heroine. Peregrine is intelligent and independent, and her jack-of-all-trades background allows her to cleverly unspool the threads of the mystery. The other Adventuresses make for intriguing characters, too ... Just Murdered will leave readers anxious to get their hands on Peregrine’s next case.
Richard Osman
Rave BookPage This intricately plotted novel weaves its multiple mysteries together with aplomb, all while bringing back familiar faces from previous installments ... Osman’s wry humor continues to shine, especially in the sections of the story told through Joyce’s lively diary entries ... If there’s a flaw in The Bullet That Missed, it’s that readers need to be familiar with the previous books to fully appreciate some of the characters’ motivations and deepening relationships. However, with only two previous books in the series, it’s easy to get caught up. And mystery fans should absolutely do so, because this latest entry in the Thursday Murder Club series may be the best one yet.
Gigi Pandian
Rave BookPage ... the enchanting first book in Gigi Pandian’s Secret Staircase mystery series, flawlessly balances magic, misdirection and murder ... Hidden Creek is a truly delightful setting for a cozy mystery series. Not only does Fiddler’s Folly abound with hidden rooms and intricate locks, but the property also includes the dreamy treehouse where Tempest’s grandparents live. And then there’s the Locked Room Library, a mystery lover’s dream destination that readers will fervently wish truly existed ... The mystery is engaging and full of misdirection (sometimes literally, in the form of sleight-of-hand tricks), and undergirding it all is Tempest’s anxiety around her family curse. But despite the high stakes, Under Lock & Skeleton Key is bursting with heart and hope.
