Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates. While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place—Aldrich Castle—but in a different time: 1815, to be exact. Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a young girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her twenty-first century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madman.",2016,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ers30r2aadd9qzrm40cjb.jpg?v=47cb1ca91d","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7ernpp5gbazwsmkcxy7js9.png?v=cfa1c0907f","L5P6:K_N%Mt800IVjF%M00t8Ios,",0,320,364,"complete",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":7},"01kx7ernq0wpnhd6fbrjv5akee","julie-mcelwain-rahn","Julie McElwain","author",[27,31,35],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},213,"Amateur Sleuth","amateur-sleuth",[],[],[42],{"id":43,"name":44,"type":45},"01kkw43tvpdv9vw8315yz3xk78","Women","place",[],[48,58,66],{"id":49,"title":50,"edition_name":7,"format":51,"format_label":52,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":53,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":54,"asin":7,"publisher":55,"language":10,"quality_score":56,"submission_status":57},"01kx7ers30r2aadd9qzrm40cjb","A Murder in Time A Novel","paperback","Paperback","2017-04-11","9781681773636","Pegasus Books",10,"approved",{"id":59,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":60,"format_label":61,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":62,"cover_url":63,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":64,"asin":7,"publisher":65,"language":10,"quality_score":56,"submission_status":57},"01kx7ernq9ecg4mtn5fa1q9a7h","kindle","Kindle","2016-04-15","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F21500573482786.jpg","9781681771151","Simon & Schuster",{"id":67,"title":50,"edition_name":7,"format":68,"format_label":69,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":70,"cover_url":71,"cover_blurhash":72,"isbn_13":73,"asin":7,"publisher":55,"language":10,"quality_score":56,"submission_status":57},"01kx7ernq43yrk7nymfahxrkdr","hardcover","Hardcover","2016-04-11","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ernq43yrk7nymfahxrkdr.jpg?v=63a13444f2","L6PGTwbL4pM_~UIAf8t74TxbRjoe","9781605989747",{"summary":7,"pace":75,"complexity":76,"complexity_score":77,"audience":78,"mood":79,"themes":82,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":83},"fast","moderate",4,"adult",[80,81],"mysterious","tense",[],[84,85],"graphic-violence","gore",{"id":49,"title":50,"edition_name":7,"format":51,"format_label":52,"page_count":15,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":53,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":54,"asin":7,"publisher":55,"language":10},[],"2026-07-11T02:05:39.000000Z",[90,121,158,205,235,272,302,345,380,428],{"id":91,"slug":92,"title":93,"description":94,"primary_cover_url":95,"cover_blurhash":96,"first_publish_year":97,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":98,"authors":99,"genres":104,"series":112,"enrichment":118},"01krbfgw3g2sh73mf368mz2djq","penny-for-your-secrets-dcfe","Penny for Your Secrets","Lady Kiera Darby and her detective husband, Sebastian Gage, are invited to a remote Scottish estate for a house party.

Instead she finds the same simmering jealousies among her brothers, their wives, and the servants who have spent years circling one another in the prosperous estate. When Imhotep comes back from a journey north with a beautiful young concubine, Nofret, the careful order of the household curdles into open resentment, and soon a sudden death sets off a chain of further killings. As fear spreads and suspicion settles on everyone in turn, Renisenb watches the people she has known all her life harden into strangers, and begins to question who among them is capable of murder. Guided by the sharp-eyed grandmother Esa and the quiet estate scribe Hori, she gropes toward an understanding of what lies beneath the masks of family loyalty. The setting is reconstructed from real ancient correspondence, lending domestic detail to a confined drama of inheritance, grief, and dread. Working entirely outside the modern world she usually depicts, the author transplants a tightly plotted puzzle into a vanished civilization, where the rituals of mourning and the rhythms of the river frame a household slowly consumed from within.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt0mb9qgqa9tb0wemrrzkxh6.jpg","LNNuw:MxTJrr{1wdS#ni?bxZR+of",1944,240,[215],{"id":216,"slug":217,"name":218},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[220,221,222,226],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":19},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":19},58,"Classics","classics",[],{"pace":76,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":232,"themes":233,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[80,81],[234],"multiple-povs",{"id":236,"slug":237,"title":238,"description":239,"primary_cover_url":240,"cover_blurhash":241,"first_publish_year":242,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":243,"authors":244,"genres":253,"series":262,"enrichment":267},"01kndnz8m8kwvrd3vtzrgrqmbx","a-letter-of-mary-svf9","A Letter of Mary","In August 1923, Mary Russell and her husband Sherlock Holmes receive an unexpected visit from Dorothy Ruskin, an elderly amateur archaeologist who had met them years earlier during the events of O Jerusalem.

When Holmes and Russell investigate her death, they uncover evidence of foul play involving three distinct suspects: a British colonel who sponsored Ruskin's dig; two Middle Easterners seeking the same papyrus; and Ruskin's sister, Erica.

His parents are long dead, his mother having drowned in the water his house overlooks. His younger sister, Enola, works for a traveling carnival reading tarot cards, and seldom calls. On a day in late June, Simon receives a mysterious package from an antiquarian bookseller. The book tells the story of Amos and Evangeline, doomed lovers who lived and worked in a traveling circus more than two hundred years ago. The paper crackles with age as Simon turns the yellowed pages filled with notes, sketches, and whimsical flourishes; and his best friend and fellow librarian, Alice, looks on in increasing alarm. Why does his grandmother's name, Verona Bonn, appear in this book? Why do so many women in his family drown on July 24? Could there possibly be some kind of curse on his family--and could Enola, who has suddenly turned up at home for the first time in six years, risk the same fate in just a few weeks?

Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City tells the story of the men who built it, centered on architect Daniel Burnham, who battled financial setbacks, engineering failures, and the death of his design partner to raise the \"White City\" from a swampy park in barely two years.\n\nRunning alongside that story is a darker one. H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",464,[793],{"id":794,"slug":795,"name":796},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[798,802,803,804,808,812],{"id":799,"name":800,"slug":801,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":258,"name":259,"slug":260,"is_fiction":18},{"id":805,"name":806,"slug":807,"is_fiction":18},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":809,"name":810,"slug":811,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":813,"name":814,"slug":815,"is_fiction":18},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":818,"themes":819,"setting_period":7,"summary":820,"content_warnings":7},[425,81],[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.

He moves constantly between the intimate and the immense, insisting that history is made not by great men but by the countless small actions of ordinary people.\n\nWar and Peace is one of the towering achievements of world literature, part novel, part philosophy of history.

This novel is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding had survived to become a man. Peter arrives in America, the land of self-creation, and passes as a Christian. Successful in business and rich in love in the boom years of the 1950s, he thrives in the present, plans for the future, and has no past. But there is a cost to his charade. When The Diary of a Young Girl is published to worldwide acclaim, it triggers paralyzing memories of his experiences in the secret annex in Amsterdam. The diary is his story too, and once the floodgate of memory opens, his life spirals out of control. Based on extensive research of Peter van Pels and the strange and disturbing life Anne Frank's diary took on after her death, this is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory, and the inescapability of the past.
