Maid","Molly Gray is a hotel maid at the Regency Grand, and she loves her work: the trolley stocked just so, the satisfying return of a messy room to a state of perfection, the quiet dignity of a job done well. 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 Maid is as much a story about being underestimated and finally seen as it is a whodunit, balancing a hotel full of secrets with real tenderness toward its heroine.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc4w3petmgvyyecyskt61r2.jpg","LEQMV6$P}Z#.$jfQNuj[$Pf6J,bH",2022,"3.00",4,320,[156],{"id":157,"slug":158,"name":159},"01kkc4w3p1nfxsb75zb0vnr8g1","nita-prose-vpjq","Nita Prose",[161,162,163,167,168],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":18},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":18},[170],{"id":171,"slug":172,"name":173,"position":174,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkc4w3tzagcwbz5k859k4mc3","molly-the-maid-ay2y","Molly-the-Maid","1.00",{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":176,"themes":179,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[133,177,178],"funny","heartwarming",[],{"id":181,"slug":182,"title":183,"description":184,"primary_cover_url":185,"cover_blurhash":186,"first_publish_year":187,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":188,"authors":189,"genres":194,"series":203,"enrichment":204},"01kjt76xrh3ny40g7t50p7r0gj","why-didnt-they-ask-evans-82ur","Why Didn't They Ask Evans?","A round of golf at a Welsh seaside resort takes a grim turn when Bobby Jones, the easygoing fourth son of the vicar of Marchbolt, slices a ball over a cliff and discovers a man broken on the rocks below. 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,[190],{"id":191,"slug":192,"name":193},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[195,196,197,201,202],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":18},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":18},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":206,"themes":208,"setting_period":7,"summary":211,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[134,207],"adventurous",[209,210],"mystery-box","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.

It follows Daisies for Innocence and Nightshade for Warning.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxepkcfa3e61tt6mz7sxdtwp.jpg?v=56660ad154","LAGbX[-WD4XM|[SwR+s,4nJOT{xb",2018,[339],{"id":340,"slug":341,"name":342},"01kxepkcegm3n726ctqj6rb49w","bailey-cattrell-5xgx","Bailey Cattrell",[344,345,346,347,348],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":18},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":18},{"id":349,"name":350,"slug":351,"is_fiction":18},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",[353],{"id":354,"slug":355,"name":356,"position":152,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kxer4sjm34wds5m4kc1njg0m","enchanted-garden-mystery-kyv1","An Enchanted Garden Mystery",{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":358,"themes":360,"setting_period":7,"summary":361,"content_warnings":7},[133,134,135,359],"whimsical",[],"The third Enchanted Garden Mystery.

Within days the words come back to haunt him: the unpopular magistrate is found shot dead in the vicar's own study, slumped over the writing desk. Almost everyone in the village had reason to resent the overbearing Colonel, and the vicar soon finds his quiet parish overrun with suspects, alibis, and confessions that contradict one another. The wife, her admirer, the resentful daughter, a visiting artist, an archaeologist on a local dig, a poacher, and a newcomer all draw the attention of the bumbling Inspector Slack and the Chief Constable, Colonel Melchett. Narrated with dry wit by the vicar, the investigation circles between competing theories while the village hums with rumour. Watching it all from her cottage next door is an elderly, sharp-eyed spinster, Miss Jane Marple, who tends her garden, misses nothing, and quietly understands human nature far better than the police. Drawing parallels between the crime and the small betrayals of ordinary village life, she pieces together what the official investigators cannot. This is the first full-length case for one of detective fiction's most enduring amateur sleuths.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjrb2zte148pqcq9zxyn8ffw.jpg","LDFF4rIu%wkD}kbIx@ba0$R*$ijZ",2016,418,[651],{"id":191,"slug":192,"name":193},[653,654,655],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":18},[657],{"id":658,"slug":659,"name":660,"position":174,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjrazxgq6yekx4z109cmjd37","miss-marple-svxu","Miss Marple",{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":662,"themes":664,"setting_period":7,"summary":668,"content_warnings":7},[133,639,299,663],"nostalgic",[665,666,667,209],"betrayal","forbidden-love","morally-grey","In the sleepy English village of St Mary Mead, where the most pressing concerns are usually parish gossip and garden fences, the Reverend Leonard Clement remarks that anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe would be doing the world a service.",{"id":670,"slug":671,"title":672,"description":673,"primary_cover_url":674,"cover_blurhash":675,"first_publish_year":676,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":677,"authors":678,"genres":680,"series":684,"enrichment":686},"01kkwz963xygb3ttdsywwj1fv7","450-from-paddington-ug9z","4:50 from Paddington","Returning from a Christmas shopping trip, Elspeth McGillicuddy glances out of her first-class carriage as another train draws level on a parallel track.

No one believes her: the railway staff find nothing, the police turn up no body, and the incident is dismissed as the imagining of a tired traveller. Only her old friend Jane Marple takes the account seriously. Working from timetables, maps and the geometry of the two railway lines, Miss Marple reasons out where a body might have been pushed from the carriage and comes to suspect the grounds of Rutherford Hall, the gloomy estate of the reclusive Crackenthorpe family. Too frail to search the place herself, she recruits the brisk and resourceful Lucy Eyelesbarrow, an Oxford-educated professional housekeeper, to take a post inside the household and look for what the authorities missed. Lucy becomes Miss Marple's eyes and hands among the Crackenthorpes, observing the ailing patriarch, his watchful daughter, his quarrelling sons and the family doctor while quietly hunting for the proof that a killing took place. As the search narrows and a corpse is finally found, old resentments over money and inheritance rise to the surface, and the question of who could have committed a crime no one was meant to see grows steadily more dangerous.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkwz967cam5dqhrx26b0s4nm.jpg","LZI;I;w]?^WC9uS2s:f6?vW;V@oL",1957,262,[679],{"id":191,"slug":192,"name":193},[681,682,683],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":18},[685],{"id":658,"slug":659,"name":660,"position":463,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":687,"themes":688,"setting_period":7,"summary":690,"content_warnings":7},[299,639,133,405],[689,209,665],"family-saga","Returning from a Christmas shopping trip, Elspeth McGillicuddy glances out of her first-class carriage as another train draws level on a parallel track.",{"id":692,"slug":693,"title":694,"description":695,"primary_cover_url":696,"cover_blurhash":697,"first_publish_year":698,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":699,"authors":700,"genres":705,"series":713,"enrichment":717},"01kjsvay0z25sye2a45s94ztjt","the-no-1-ladies-detective-agency-5rkd","The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency","Meet Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only female private detective.

Most read it as a parlour-game invitation, an evening of staged entertainment, and so a small crowd assembles at the appointed house at the appointed hour, half-amused and half-curious. When the lights go out, a figure with a torch appears, shots ring out in the dark, and what was meant to be a game ends with a body on the floor and the hostess wounded. Chief Inspector Craddock takes charge of the investigation, but the tangle of guests, lodgers, and neighbours resists easy answers, and each polite household guards its own version of the truth. Elderly, observant Jane Marple, who understands village life and the small lies people tell, joins the inquiry and listens where others only look. As she sifts ordinary gossip from genuine clue, it becomes clear that the strangers who have settled in postwar Britain are not always who they claim to be, and that an old secret connects far more of the village than anyone suspects. Set in a community reshaped by war, rationing, and newcomers no one can vouch for, the story turns on questions of identity and trust, asking how well anyone truly knows a neighbour. Patient deduction and quiet menace build toward a resolution that rewards careful attention.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz54vvcerdtrgn3019yd26c.jpg","L568Qloy%1o3~Uj[WBWCxZoej[WC",1950,260,[731],{"id":191,"slug":192,"name":193},[733,734,735],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":18},[737],{"id":658,"slug":659,"name":660,"position":253,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":739,"themes":740,"setting_period":7,"summary":742,"content_warnings":7},[133,639,299,405],[741,209,665,667],"secret-identity","In the quiet English village of Chipping Cleghorn, the residents open their local gazette to find a peculiar notice: a murder is announced and will take place on Friday at Little Paddocks at half past six.",{"id":744,"slug":745,"title":746,"description":747,"primary_cover_url":748,"cover_blurhash":749,"first_publish_year":750,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":751,"authors":752,"genres":754,"series":758,"enrichment":760},"01kjsqbhg3qbs5m1z4wqexdndh","the-body-in-the-library-ribk","The Body in the Library","The morning routine at Gossington Hall shatters when a maid discovers the body of an unknown young woman sprawled on the library floor. The dead girl is a platinum blonde in a cheap evening dress, a stranger to the respectable household of Colonel Arthur Bantry and his wife Dolly. As gossip threatens to brand the Colonel a suspect in his own home, Dolly turns to her shrewd friend from St. Mary Mead, an elderly spinster who understands village human nature better than anyone. The victim is soon identified as a dancer from a nearby seaside resort hotel, a young woman who had drawn the devotion of a wealthy, grieving invalid and the resentment of his relations. The local police pursue alibis and motives through the hotel's bright world of bridge tables and exhibition dances, while the spinster watches, listens, and draws her own quiet parallels to people she has known. A second discovery widens the case and confuses the timeline, forcing every theory to be reconsidered. Working alongside an old acquaintance from Scotland Yard and a methodical superintendent, she sifts the small inconsistencies others overlook. The investigation moves between the orthodox calm of an English country house and the restless energy of resort society, where appearances rarely hold. What seems an impossible intrusion proves to be a carefully arranged crime, and only patient attention to character reveals the design behind it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjsqbhg3qbs5m1z4wqexdndh.jpg","L9BpB~oLWBRQI@NH9Ht7~Ue-RkWV",1984,154,[753],{"id":191,"slug":192,"name":193},[755,756,757],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":198,"name":199,"slug":200,"is_fiction":18},[759],{"id":658,"slug":659,"name":660,"position":270,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":128,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":761,"themes":762,"setting_period":7,"summary":763,"content_warnings":7},[133,639,299],[665,741,209],"The morning routine at Gossington Hall shatters when a maid discovers the body of an unknown young woman sprawled on the library floor.",{"key":765,"params":766,"works":767},"genre",{"genre":32},[768,798,833,863,896,937],{"id":769,"slug":770,"title":771,"description":772,"primary_cover_url":773,"cover_blurhash":774,"first_publish_year":775,"community_rating_avg":253,"community_rating_count":776,"page_count":777,"authors":778,"genres":783,"series":792,"enrichment":793},"01kjq77dx08ykthbbb7jc7p80m","the-silent-patient-cfa9","The Silent Patient","Alicia Berenson's life looks perfect.

Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[",2019,19,338,[779],{"id":780,"slug":781,"name":782},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[784,785,786,787,788],{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":789,"name":790,"slug":791,"is_fiction":18},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":794,"themes":796,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[795,134,405],"dark",[797],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":799,"slug":800,"title":801,"description":802,"primary_cover_url":803,"cover_blurhash":804,"first_publish_year":775,"community_rating_avg":805,"community_rating_count":776,"page_count":806,"authors":807,"genres":812,"series":825,"enrichment":829},"01kjq708p23t2ry31w7hm60a9b","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-cdxc","A Good Girl's Guide to Murder","Five years ago, Andie Bell was murdered in the quiet town of Little Kilton.

When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{","4.50",416,[808],{"id":809,"slug":810,"name":811},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[813,814,815,816,817,821],{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":818,"name":819,"slug":820,"is_fiction":18},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":822,"name":823,"slug":824,"is_fiction":18},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[826],{"id":827,"slug":828,"name":801,"position":174,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":830,"mood":831,"themes":832,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[134,405,795],[],{"id":834,"slug":835,"title":836,"description":837,"primary_cover_url":838,"cover_blurhash":839,"first_publish_year":531,"community_rating_avg":840,"community_rating_count":818,"page_count":841,"authors":842,"genres":847,"series":857,"enrichment":858},"01kjq7te00e1c1w3h3vj67a7hn","gone-girl-a6u8","Gone Girl","On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy Dunne disappears from the Missouri house she shares with her husband, Nick.

Nick, evasive and strangely composed under the cameras, quickly becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.\n\nGillian Flynn tells the story in two alternating voices. Nick narrates the investigation from the present as suspicion tightens around him, while Amy's diary traces the couple's courtship and the slow souring of their marriage. The two accounts refuse to line up, and the widening gap between them keeps the reader guessing about who is lying, who is telling the truth, and what really happened on the anniversary.\n\nBeneath the missing-person case, Gone Girl is a caustic anatomy of a modern marriage and the performances it demands. Flynn dissects the roles spouses play for each other and for the outside world, the machinery of a media spectacle, and the resentments that accumulate when two clever, image-conscious people stop being honest with each other. Sharp, cynical, and ruthlessly plotted around a pair of unreliable narrators, it became one of the defining psychological thrillers of its era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktkx3dk6k3s6syphedc5mc2x.jpg?v=2f60cfe167","L35;,O~p%#-:MxIUM{Rj029GMxIV","4.02",486,[843],{"id":844,"slug":845,"name":846},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[848,849,850,851,852,853],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":18},{"id":789,"name":790,"slug":791,"is_fiction":18},{"id":854,"name":855,"slug":856,"is_fiction":18},43,"Domestic Thriller","domestic-thriller",[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":859,"themes":860,"setting_period":7,"summary":862,"content_warnings":7},[795,405],[797,861],"dual-timeline","On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.

Simon dies from an allergic reaction that looks less and less like an accident, and the police quickly zero in on the four students left in the room: each of them was about to be exposed by one of Simon's next posts, and each had a reason to want him silenced.\n\nAs the investigation drags on and the media descends, the four suspects are forced into uneasy alliance, piecing together what really happened even as the secrets Simon meant to reveal threaten to come out anyway — from each other, if not from him. Told in alternating first-person chapters, One of Us Is Lying is a fast-paced YA mystery about the personas built to survive high school and what happens when they start to crack.\n\nKaren M. McManus's bestselling debut launched a series and was adapted into a television show, and it remains a touchstone of the modern YA thriller boom.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4vynwkjpf1svasb1wb1ew.jpg","LDMQ9c4:BnIU_NMw%Mt7GFtRv~Rj","3.71",14,[873],{"id":874,"slug":875,"name":876},"01kjq7pexg1qp648svgs0n4p6g","karen-m-mcmanus-iyxe","Karen M.

Police summon Langdon as an expert, but he quickly realizes he is himself a suspect. With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller. It is the second novel featuring Robert Langdon and the book that made Dan Brown a global phenomenon.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hg4bj85xmzpemc2cswcp.jpg","LCH,^QENxYS4.lWXt6sn9gj[R,WC","4.31",13,454,[907],{"id":908,"slug":909,"name":910},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[912,913,914,915,919,923,924],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":18},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":18},{"id":916,"name":917,"slug":918,"is_fiction":18},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":920,"name":921,"slug":922,"is_fiction":17},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":925,"name":926,"slug":927,"is_fiction":17},70,"History","history",[929],{"id":930,"slug":931,"name":932,"position":270,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":131,"mood":934,"themes":935,"setting_period":7,"summary":936,"content_warnings":7},[405,134,639],[209],"A murder inside the Louvre pulls symbologist Robert Langdon into an overnight chase across Paris and London, chasing a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.",{"id":938,"slug":939,"title":940,"description":941,"primary_cover_url":942,"cover_blurhash":943,"first_publish_year":648,"community_rating_avg":944,"community_rating_count":904,"page_count":945,"authors":946,"genres":951,"series":962,"enrichment":963},"01kjvxssdfpzhjw109f2ah30vn","the-girl-on-the-train-simk","The Girl on the Train","Rachel Watson takes the same commuter train into London every morning, and every morning it pauses at the same signal, giving her a clear view of a house four doors down from the home she once shared with her ex-husband.
