The stranger lives just long enough to murmur a single baffling question before he dies, and that question lodges itself in Bobby's mind. When an inquest swiftly closes the matter as an accident, Bobby is inclined to let it rest, until an attempt is made on his own life and the loose threads refuse to lie flat. Joined by his spirited childhood friend Lady Frances Derwent, known to everyone as Frankie, he sets out to make sense of the dying words and the curious people who seem connected to them. The two adopt disguises, stage a motor accident to gain entry to a suspicious household, and trade quick banter as the stakes climb from idle curiosity toward genuine peril. Wit and recklessness carry them where caution would not, and their amateur sleuthing brushes against forces far more dangerous than either anticipated. Working without a famous detective to guide them, Bobby and Frankie must rely on nerve, luck, and each other. Set among country houses, a nursing home, and the cliffs of the Welsh coast, the story moves at a brisk pace, balancing genuine menace with a light, conversational charm and a puzzle that keeps circling back to one teasing question.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz59hvmkkrx7fm91bjva5br.jpg","L6D9q[00T}E2N4ocoMWB0;WE]yjY",1935,252,[713],{"id":714,"slug":715,"name":716},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[718,719,720,724,725],{"id":150,"name":151,"slug":152,"is_fiction":20},{"id":682,"name":683,"slug":684,"is_fiction":20},{"id":721,"name":722,"slug":723,"is_fiction":20},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":625,"name":626,"slug":627,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":164,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":728,"themes":729,"setting_period":7,"summary":730,"content_warnings":7},[89,239],[170,463],"A dying man found on a golf course leaves behind only one cryptic question: \"Why didn't they ask Evans?\" When his identity and the meaning of that phrase are lost to time, Bobby Jones and Lady Frances Derwent set out across England chasing clues through old photographs, forgotten addresses, and tangled family secrets.

Molly sees the world a little differently from other people — she takes language literally, misses social cues, and has relied since childhood on her late Gran's rules to navigate a world she finds bafflingly complicated. As long as everything is in its proper place, she is content.\n\nThen Molly lets herself into the suite of the wealthy, frequently unpleasant Mr. Black and finds him dead in his bed. Because she behaves nothing like people expect a witness to behave, and because she knows more about the hotel's guests and staff than she lets on, Molly quickly becomes the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she will have to accept help from an unlikely group of allies and learn to tell the difference between the people who mean her well and those who don't.\n\nNita Prose's debut is a warm, twisty contemporary mystery with the comfort of a cozy and a genuinely original narrator.

For a decade she was content raising her daughter in the quiet suburbs of New Jersey. But now that Joy is grown and gone, life has gotten far too quiet.\n\nWith a little cajoling from Madame, the Blend's flamboyant elderly owner, Clare agrees to return to her old job, and right from the start she gets one heck of a jolt. On her first morning back as manager she unlocks the front door to find her beautiful young assistant manager, Anabelle, unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere.\n\nAs Anabelle is rushed to the hospital, police arrive to investigate, but Detective Mike Quinn finds no sign of forced entry or foul play and deems it an accident. Clare disagrees. After Quinn leaves there are questions she can't get out of her mind: why was the trash bin in the wrong place? If this wasn't an accident, are her other baristas in danger?
