Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac—a half-baked idea, in Hannah’s opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show—sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth.Hannah’s suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac’s limo rolls into town. Turns out America’s “Cooking Sweetheart” is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp—and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah’s famous blueberry muffins.Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar’s kitchen crime scene off-limits.

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.

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,[296],{"id":297,"slug":298,"name":299},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[301,302,303,307,308],{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":20},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":20},{"id":304,"name":305,"slug":306,"is_fiction":20},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":129,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":311,"themes":313,"setting_period":7,"summary":315,"content_warnings":7},[186,312],"adventurous",[137,314],"multiple-povs","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.

Elizabeth receives a letter from a man from her past — a former colleague from her intelligence days — who has stolen something extremely valuable from extremely dangerous people, and who now needs her help. Soon the quiet world of Coopers Chase is brushing up against international criminals, missing diamonds, and the very real possibility of getting killed.\n\nAs Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim are pulled into a case with far higher stakes than a cold-case file, one of their own is badly hurt, and the four friends discover just how fierce they can be when someone they love is threatened. Vengeance, it turns out, is a dish best served by pensioners.\n\nRichard Osman's second Thursday Murder Club mystery blends twisty, high-stakes plotting with the warmth, humor, and emotional depth that made the series a phenomenon, deepening the friendships at its heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kr836n8yrz1ca49ka0dhw2tj.jpg","LLMQ#H_401_3I-i_sCNx0MT0kqM|",2021,"4.67",404,[826],{"id":226,"slug":227,"name":228},[828,829,830,831,832],{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":20},{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":20},{"id":240,"name":241,"slug":242,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":20},[834],{"id":246,"slug":247,"name":248,"position":620,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":183,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":836,"themes":837,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[185,133,808,186],[253],{"id":839,"slug":840,"title":841,"description":842,"primary_cover_url":843,"cover_blurhash":844,"first_publish_year":196,"community_rating_avg":451,"community_rating_count":452,"page_count":845,"authors":846,"genres":848,"series":855,"enrichment":857},"01kr82hc02k0za0zx5gn57q3ns","the-bullet-that-missed-ddn4","The Bullet that Missed","The Thursday Murder Club finds themselves embroiled in another mystery when a decade-old cold case resurfaces, involving a local news legend and a murder without a body.
