Beside each body lies a copy of the ABC Railway Guide, opened to the page of the town where the victim died. Before every killing, Hercule Poirot receives a typed, mocking letter signed only with the initials A.B.C., naming the next place and daring him to intervene in time. With his old friend Captain Hastings narrating events, Poirot works alongside Chief Inspector Japp and the sceptical young Inspector Crome, but the police are left chasing a murderer who appears to choose strangers at random and strike across half of England. As the toll mounts, the relatives of the dead band together, determined to help the detective who cannot seem to get ahead of the next letter. Poirot grows convinced that the apparent madness conceals a precise design, and that the answer lies not in where the killer will go next, but in why these particular names were chosen. Christie tests her detective against a new kind of adversary, building a methodical puzzle around the unsettling idea of murder without obvious motive, and pressing Poirot to read the mind behind the alphabet before the list runs out.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qnsg0ydjz60rfrbwn89x.jpg","L8G~I5E4M|P7~VSeRjjI+~TENbnS",1936,"4.50",2,194,[118,122],{"id":119,"slug":120,"name":121},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",{"id":123,"slug":124,"name":125},"01krp08npx911jr4wac88rp9hw","rajni-thindiath-zwx9","Rajni Thindiath",[127,128,131,132,136,140],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":22},{"id":129,"name":53,"slug":130,"is_fiction":22},6,"mystery",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":22},{"id":133,"name":134,"slug":135,"is_fiction":22},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":22},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":22},[142],{"id":143,"slug":144,"name":145,"position":146,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kkwz9p4n93hgbfc311q4ap41","hercule-poirot-wiqp","Hercule Poirot","13.00",{"pace":89,"complexity":14,"audience":91,"mood":148,"themes":152,"setting_period":14,"summary":157,"content_warnings":14},[93,149,150,151],"intellectual","dark","atmospheric",[153,154,155,156],"secret-identity","morally-grey","multiple-povs","mystery-box","A killer is working through the alphabet.

Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing. The master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxq5fd112xhtq88v7dja6h89.jpg?v=231b4db694","LIDTFnRinhWADhofbvof_NV@xuj]",2014,464,[168],{"id":169,"slug":170,"name":171},"01kjt75ggjtfky7vbyak6yzd4t","patricia-cornwell-k6b0","Patricia Cornwell",[173,174,175,179,180],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":22},{"id":129,"name":53,"slug":130,"is_fiction":22},{"id":176,"name":177,"slug":178,"is_fiction":22},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":41,"name":42,"slug":43,"is_fiction":22},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":22},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":14,"audience":91,"mood":183,"themes":184,"setting_period":14,"summary":14,"content_warnings":14},[93,94],[],{"id":186,"slug":187,"title":188,"description":189,"primary_cover_url":190,"cover_blurhash":191,"first_publish_year":192,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":19,"page_count":193,"authors":194,"genres":199,"series":209,"enrichment":215},"01kxf589v0b0sh875yw7d926d9","girl-in-the-ice-mlaj","Girl in the Ice","\"When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation.

Emily has witnessed the murder of her parents – murders that the authorities believe are part of a larger wave of crime. However, Emily can’t seem to recall a thing about the killings. When the murderers come after Emily, Jane’s boss sends the two of them to a remote town in Colorado. There, Jane, who doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body, must pose as Emily’s mother and serve as her protector. At the same time, she needs to help Emily slowly remember the devastating event without traumatizing her further. And while she does so, the killer is closing in . . .  PROTECTOR marks the debut of Jane Perry, an immensely flawed, utterly sympathetic character that readers have already found entrancing.

To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",320,[633],{"id":634,"slug":635,"name":636},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[638,639,640,641,642,643],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":22},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":22},{"id":129,"name":53,"slug":130,"is_fiction":22},{"id":176,"name":177,"slug":178,"is_fiction":22},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":22},{"id":644,"name":645,"slug":646,"is_fiction":22},210,"Noir","noir",[648],{"id":649,"slug":650,"name":651,"position":214,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":88,"complexity":14,"audience":91,"mood":653,"themes":654,"setting_period":14,"summary":626,"content_warnings":14},[150,93,94,308],[464,155,154],{"id":656,"slug":657,"title":658,"description":659,"primary_cover_url":660,"cover_blurhash":661,"first_publish_year":662,"community_rating_avg":663,"community_rating_count":33,"page_count":664,"authors":665,"genres":670,"series":677,"enrichment":678},"01kkfjcwd9pyqkj99a7ytvn00d","the-chalk-man-p6rr","The Chalk Man","In the quiet English village of Anderbury, twelve-year-old Eddie Adams and his tight-knit group of friends invent a private code: chalk stick figures, each child drawing in their own colour to leave secret messages for the others.

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\u002F01kjz4vwqeqq53vd9jr2xk32fx.jpg","LDMQ9c4:BnIU_NMw%Mt7GFtRv~Rj",2017,"3.81",[906],{"id":907,"slug":908,"name":909},"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",2003,"4.31",454,[939],{"id":940,"slug":941,"name":942},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[944,945,946,947,948,952,953],{"id":129,"name":53,"slug":130,"is_fiction":22},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":22},{"id":176,"name":177,"slug":178,"is_fiction":22},{"id":481,"name":482,"slug":483,"is_fiction":22},{"id":949,"name":950,"slug":951,"is_fiction":21},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":22},{"id":954,"name":955,"slug":956,"is_fiction":21},70,"History","history",[958],{"id":959,"slug":960,"name":961,"position":362,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":88,"complexity":14,"audience":91,"mood":963,"themes":964,"setting_period":14,"summary":965,"content_warnings":14},[93,94,149],[156],"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":967,"slug":968,"title":969,"description":970,"primary_cover_url":971,"cover_blurhash":972,"first_publish_year":431,"community_rating_avg":114,"community_rating_count":973,"page_count":166,"authors":974,"genres":980,"series":986,"enrichment":989},"01kjr6z62s19x7p1v3p5m1wzen","as-good-as-dead-7xp7","As Good As Dead","Pip Fitz-Amobi is supposed to be moving on. College is weeks away, the podcast that once thrilled her now feels like a burden, and the toll of her past cases has followed her home in ways she can barely admit. Then the messages start: an anonymous stalker leaving chalk figures and dead pigeons, asking a single chilling question. The police dismiss her fears, but Pip recognizes the pattern. It matches an old case she thought was long closed, and it is pointing straight at her.\n\nAs the threat closes in, Pip is forced to confront how far the justice she believes in has actually reached, and how much of herself she has lost chasing the truth for other people. This final book pushes her to a breaking point and asks what a good girl does when the system fails and the danger is personal.\n\nThe devastating conclusion to Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy trades tidy whodunit for something rawer and more morally fraught. It is a darker, more intense read than the earlier books, closing Pip's arc with choices that leave no one, including the reader, entirely comfortable.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjr6z62s19x7p1v3p5m1wzen.jpg","L48qNkae00-=-;ofIUax00of~WM_",14,[975,976],{"id":820,"slug":821,"name":822},{"id":977,"slug":978,"name":979},"01kkcrxqwsvyss408w4mxewyng","maria-carcamo-ramos-rhoe","María Cárcamo Ramos",[981,982,983,984,985],{"id":176,"name":177,"slug":178,"is_fiction":22},{"id":829,"name":830,"slug":831,"is_fiction":22},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":22},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":22},{"id":129,"name":53,"slug":130,"is_fiction":22},[987],{"id":838,"slug":839,"name":812,"position":988,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"3.00",{"pace":88,"complexity":14,"audience":841,"mood":990,"themes":991,"setting_period":14,"summary":14,"content_warnings":14},[150,93],[],[993],{"id":994,"slug":995,"title":996,"user":997,"work_id":4,"is_draft":21,"verified_reader":22,"featured":21,"body":1004,"overall_rating":33,"depth":14,"momentum":14,"atmosphere":14,"craft":14,"impact":14,"spice":14,"spoiler_level":1005,"locale":14,"feed_item_key":1006,"like_count":19,"comment_count":19,"top_likers":1007,"viewer_can_reply":21,"created_at":1008,"updated_at":1008},"01kxpp2c34ry11gbmd64tvv6hw","review-of-dead-woman-walking-by-nadene","Review of \"Dead Woman Walking\" by nadene",{"id":998,"name":999,"username":1000,"avatar_url":1001,"is_system":21,"published_reviews_count":1002,"books_read_count":1003},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Dead Woman Walking, book 15 in the Detective Amanda Steele series, delivered everything I’ve come to expect from Carolyn Arnold: tight pacing, layered tension, and a mystery designed to keep you reading long past your bedtime. It’s a suspenseful installment that keeps you on edge while providing clues that deepen the intrigue.\n\nThis case hits close to home for Detective Amanda Steele. With her half-brother Spenser emerging as a prime suspect, Amanda works to prove she can stay objective or face removal from the case. Despite their distant relationship, Amanda cannot reconcile the idea that he could be guilty, but she knows better than to let emotion override hard evidence.\n\nThe victim, Christine Lane, a realtor, is found murdered in the very home she was trying to sell. Spenser becomes a person of interest due to their intimate relationship. But as Amanda and Detective Trent Stenson push deeper into the evidence, a startling truth emerges: Christine wasn’t the intended target. She was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The real target was the property’s owner, attorney Dominique Shaw.\n\nFrom there, the investigation becomes even more tangled. Ms. Shaw’s long list of professional enemies—and her reluctance to cooperate—creates a sprawling suspect pool. Each lead adds new complications, forcing Amanda and Trent to sift through a maze of motives.\n\nThe twists and turns are plentiful, and the tension never lets up. Additionally, the nail-biting moments, emotional stakes, and cleverly constructed mystery make Dead Woman Walking a standout addition to the series. Ultimately, uncovering the who and the why kept me fully engaged from start to finish.\n\nDead Woman Walking delivered exactly what I look for in this series: steady tension, smart detective work, and an engaging storyline. The personal stakes added an extra layer of urgency, and the twists landed in all the right places. By the end, I felt satisfied with how the pieces came together. Another strong, engaging installment that reminds of the reason I keep returning to Amanda Steele’s worldThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpp2c34ry11gbmd64tvv6hw",[],"2026-07-17T00:01:53.000000Z"]
