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,[158],{"id":159,"slug":160,"name":161},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[163,164,168,172,173],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":20},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":20},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":176,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":177,"themes":179,"setting_period":7,"summary":181,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[88,178],"adventurous",[90,180],"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.

Wang's search for answers leads him into \"Three Body,\" an immersive virtual-reality game that reenacts the history of an alien world thrown into chaos by the unpredictable motion of its three suns — a world whose civilization has learned to survive collapse after collapse, and whose people are now looking toward Earth.\n\nAs Wang follows the threads connecting the game, the deaths, and a choice Ye Wenjie made decades earlier, humanity's ideas about first contact — and about its own worth as a civilization — are put to the test. What began as one scientist's private act of desperation becomes the opening move in a conflict that will play out over centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kk2t598y59qsqv4w88xa67wf.jpg","L9AB^i~qrfMyr9RjR:bb9RX9V=ju",2008,"4.67",472,[600,604,608,612,616],{"id":601,"slug":602,"name":603},"01kjqv35vr314wfh2vrq2w3ppv","untitled-3ned","Liu Cixin",{"id":605,"slug":606,"name":607},"01kjqv35vzg8nb4bch1yev4w3w","vincent-schmitt-bvow","Vincent Schmitt",{"id":609,"slug":610,"name":611},"01kjqv35w33j3p8ej4yt4y58c4","gwennael-gaffric-0ybv","Gwennaël Gaffric",{"id":613,"slug":614,"name":615},"01kjqv35w7sv95xe1qhw5amy9s","marc-simonetti-p7ue","Marc Simonetti",{"id":617,"slug":618,"name":619},"01kjsyfhr382jvfz7mtcj294ef","ken-liu-vxiu","Ken Liu",[621,622,623,627,631,635,639,642],{"id":256,"name":527,"slug":528,"is_fiction":20},{"id":77,"name":502,"slug":503,"is_fiction":20},{"id":624,"name":625,"slug":626,"is_fiction":20},26,"Space Opera","space-opera",{"id":628,"name":629,"slug":630,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":632,"name":633,"slug":634,"is_fiction":20},28,"Dystopian","dystopian",{"id":636,"name":637,"slug":638,"is_fiction":20},29,"Hard Sci-Fi","hard-sci-fi",{"id":408,"name":640,"slug":641,"is_fiction":20},"Science Fiction","science-fiction",{"id":643,"name":644,"slug":645,"is_fiction":20},203,"Social Sci-Fi","social-sci-fi",[647],{"id":648,"slug":649,"name":650,"position":242,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjqv35ys6tre2n71w7pmgpfg","remembrance-of-earths-past-ca7i","Remembrance of Earth's Past",{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":652,"themes":655,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[437,88,653,438,654],"philosophical","thought-provoking",[656,90,180],"first-contact",{"key":658,"params":659,"works":660},"genre_year",{"genre":39,"year":9},[661,675,688,721,750,774],{"id":99,"slug":100,"title":101,"description":102,"primary_cover_url":103,"cover_blurhash":104,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":13,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":105,"authors":662,"genres":664,"series":669,"enrichment":672},[663],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26},[665,666,667,668],{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":20},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[670,671],{"id":66,"slug":67,"name":68,"position":118,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":61,"slug":62,"name":63,"position":118,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":673,"themes":674,"setting_period":7,"summary":123,"content_warnings":7},[86,87,88],[],{"id":125,"slug":126,"title":127,"description":128,"primary_cover_url":129,"cover_blurhash":130,"first_publish_year":131,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":7,"authors":676,"genres":678,"series":682,"enrichment":685},[677],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26},[679,680,681],{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[683,684],{"id":66,"slug":67,"name":68,"position":140,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":61,"slug":62,"name":63,"position":140,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":686,"themes":687,"setting_period":7,"summary":147,"content_warnings":7},[86,88,144,145],[],{"id":689,"slug":690,"title":691,"description":692,"primary_cover_url":693,"cover_blurhash":694,"first_publish_year":695,"community_rating_avg":696,"community_rating_count":266,"page_count":697,"authors":698,"genres":703,"series":712,"enrichment":717},"01kk1gdw9qa1v4smkqrhmm5shw","the-thursday-murder-club-l1tk","The Thursday Murder Club","In a peaceful retirement village in the Kent countryside, four unlikely friends meet every Thursday to pore over cold cases that were never solved.

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",[729],{"id":730,"slug":731,"name":732},"01kkc4w3p1nfxsb75zb0vnr8g1","nita-prose-vpjq","Nita Prose",[734,735,736,737,741],{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":418,"name":419,"slug":420,"is_fiction":20},{"id":738,"name":739,"slug":740,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},[743],{"id":744,"slug":745,"name":746,"position":242,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkc4w3tzagcwbz5k859k4mc3","molly-the-maid-ay2y","Molly-the-Maid",{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":748,"themes":749,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[86,245,144],[],{"id":751,"slug":752,"title":753,"description":754,"primary_cover_url":755,"cover_blurhash":756,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":221,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":757,"authors":758,"genres":763,"series":766,"enrichment":771},"01kxenb5nmfddbkb6tbg183xrw","death-overdue-hfqr","Death Overdue","Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut.

Sour, spoiled, and unwanted, Mary arrives as a difficult child with no idea how to make a friend.\n\nLeft largely to herself, she begins to explore the manor's grounds and hears rumours of a walled garden that has been locked and abandoned for ten years, ever since the death of her aunt. With the help of a friendly robin, a plainspoken housemaid named Martha, and Martha's animal-charming brother Dickon, Mary finds the hidden door and slowly coaxes the neglected garden back to life. In the night she also discovers a secret of the house itself: her cousin Colin, a sickly, tyrannical boy who has been kept in his room and told he will not live to grow up.\n\nAs the garden greens and grows, so do the children. Fresh air, hard work, and friendship transform Mary from a disagreeable girl into a curious, generous one, and draw Colin out of his bed and his despair. Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 classic is a quiet, enduring story about healing, the restorative power of nature, and the way kindness can bring both a garden and a child back to life.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qhczs6vtdxpr6hnwc5gr.jpg","LFGuae~B9uRjz,-Us:of0OIo={%2",1911,"4.57",196,[809],{"id":810,"slug":811,"name":812},"01kjq7t1qj0csb4j27fj7gm3ab","frances-hodgson-burnett-wpy2","Frances Hodgson Burnett",[814,815,816,817,818,822,823,827,828,832],{"id":256,"name":527,"slug":528,"is_fiction":20},{"id":628,"name":629,"slug":630,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":819,"name":820,"slug":821,"is_fiction":20},17,"Children's Books","childrens",{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":20},{"id":824,"name":825,"slug":826,"is_fiction":20},66,"Juvenile","juvenile",{"id":77,"name":502,"slug":503,"is_fiction":20},{"id":829,"name":830,"slug":831,"is_fiction":19},93,"Nature","nature",{"id":833,"name":834,"slug":835,"is_fiction":20},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[837],{"id":838,"slug":839,"name":840,"position":7,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kx764qhsdgyjm25bcafd6nt3","signature-clothbound-editions-cqky","Signature Clothbound Editions",{"pace":842,"complexity":7,"audience":843,"mood":844,"themes":846,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow","middle_grade",[144,845,86],"hopeful",[720],{"id":848,"slug":849,"title":850,"description":851,"primary_cover_url":852,"cover_blurhash":853,"first_publish_year":854,"community_rating_avg":332,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":855,"authors":856,"genres":861,"series":866,"enrichment":875},"01kn47m07s4k76v5v65qydk9ky","farmer-boy-jq52","Farmer Boy","Step back into the 1860s on a prosperous farm in upstate New York, where young Almanzo Wilder works from dawn until dusk.

When a museum field trip goes violently wrong, he learns the truth: he is a demigod, the son of the Greek sea god Poseidon, and the monsters of myth are very real. Whisked to Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for children of the gods on Long Island, he begins to understand a world hidden just behind the mortal one. But his arrival coincides with crisis. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and the king of the gods blames Percy. With war among the Olympians looming, Percy is given ten days to find the real thief and return the bolt before the summer solstice. He sets out across the United States with two companions: Annabeth, a sharp daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr charged with his protection. Their road trip becomes a gauntlet of mythological dangers, leading at last to the Underworld and a confrontation that reveals a deeper conspiracy stirring beneath the squabbles of the gods. Narrated in Percy's wry, self-deprecating voice, the story blends fast adventure with a coming-of-age tale about belonging, absent fathers, and finding strength in the very traits that once made him an outsider.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6d5fb1bbbb3n0hfdsnmt4.jpg","L86bJso~H=a0pytSn3nNpIXAi^Vs",2005,"4.69",13,381,[1072,1076],{"id":1073,"slug":1074,"name":1075},"01kjq6ytzca6r9gws87z252tme","rick-riordan-nule","Rick Riordan",{"id":1077,"slug":1078,"name":1079},"01kjqdn8qr3x65mg598r607g66","robert-venditti-utrh","Robert Venditti",[1081,1082,1086,1087,1091,1095,1099,1100,1101],{"id":256,"name":527,"slug":528,"is_fiction":20},{"id":1083,"name":1084,"slug":1085,"is_fiction":20},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":1088,"name":1089,"slug":1090,"is_fiction":20},18,"Graphic Novels","graphic-novels",{"id":1092,"name":1093,"slug":1094,"is_fiction":20},67,"Comics","comics",{"id":1096,"name":1097,"slug":1098,"is_fiction":20},11,"Mythology","mythology",{"id":1023,"name":1024,"slug":1025,"is_fiction":20},{"id":819,"name":820,"slug":821,"is_fiction":20},{"id":1019,"name":1020,"slug":1021,"is_fiction":20},[1103,1107],{"id":1104,"slug":1105,"name":1106,"position":242,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01KV9A5N153HSJ7M2Y68DECSXB","percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-9eqw","Percy Jackson and the Olympians",{"id":1108,"slug":1109,"name":1110,"position":242,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq704je8bxpz7x6d8f852rs","percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-snon","Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels",{"pace":176,"complexity":7,"audience":843,"mood":1112,"themes":1113,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[178,245,910],[1059,720,1114,880],"quest",{"id":1116,"slug":1117,"title":1118,"description":1119,"primary_cover_url":1120,"cover_blurhash":1121,"first_publish_year":1122,"community_rating_avg":1123,"community_rating_count":1124,"page_count":855,"authors":1125,"genres":1142,"series":1158,"enrichment":1159},"01kjq7c75ywh83se335f9967n2","the-hobbit-wshr","The Hobbit","Bilbo Baggins is a comfortable, respectable hobbit who wants nothing more than a quiet life in his hole at Bag End.

What follows is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the thaw that finally breaks a long, cruel winter.\n\nThe first-published of C. S. Lewis's beloved Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has enchanted readers since 1950 — a timeless children's fantasy woven through with wonder, adventure, and quiet moral weight.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjqv0sczmkngjeyvt7r06fsx.jpg","LXO3tiMw~pxas;jFaJWY~VxuIoR*",1950,151,[1207],{"id":1208,"slug":1209,"name":1210},"01kjqv0sc29yg2bmn7erhzgbva","c-s-lewis-cko4","C.
