The reunion is no gesture of warmth: the patriarch delights in needling his children, dangling hints about altering his will and stoking the resentments that have simmered between them for decades. A Spanish granddaughter he has never met and the son of a former business partner arrive to swell the uneasy household. On Christmas Eve, a crash of overturned furniture and a long, dying scream bring the family rushing to Simeon's door, only to find it locked from within. Inside lies the old man with his throat cut, the room drenched in blood and wrecked as though by a struggle, yet no killer to be found. Hercule Poirot, staying nearby, is drawn into an investigation alongside the local chief constable and a dogged superintendent. The puzzle turns on a sealed room, a missing fortune in uncut diamonds, and a family in which nearly everyone had cause to wish the tyrant dead. Sifting old grudges from fresh lies, Poirot weighs each alibi and each inheritance against the character of a man who shaped his children in his own image. The result is a tightly plotted festive whodunit that trades cosy seasonal cheer for something far darker, built on heredity, buried history, and the violence one household can conceal behind a closed door.",1987,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktzqqty59yppbw700xknxp70.jpg?v=86977b037b","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kkwz9nyh2fa6taejzj551v3t.png?v=36f9bf641e","LPE_szS2NIay~pRjofW:.Raeofo0",0,191,217,"pending",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":26},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie","author","Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the best-selling novelist of all time and the writer the world calls the \"Queen of Crime.\" Born Agatha Miller in Torquay, Devon, she came to fiction on a dare: her sister Madge bet she could not write a convincing detective story, and the result, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

Then There Were None","Ten strangers, each invited under a different pretext, arrive on an isolated island off the Devon coast. None of them has met their absent host, the elusive U. N. Owen, and as the boat that brought them departs, they settle in for what promises to be an unusual stay. After dinner on the first evening, a recorded voice fills the room, accusing every guest of having caused a death and escaped justice. Soon afterward, one of them dies. As a storm cuts the island off from the mainland, the remaining guests realize their deaths are being staged to mirror the verses of an old nursery rhyme that hangs framed in each bedroom. One by one, the survivors fall, and with no way to summon help and no sign of any other living soul, suspicion turns inward. Each person studies the others, certain that the killer is among them, while the rhyme counts steadily down. Trapped, watched, and unable to trust anyone, they must reckon with the secrets that brought them here even as the circle of the living shrinks. Christie builds a closed, methodical puzzle in which guilt, fear, and isolation press on every character, and the question is not only who will be next but how anyone could orchestrate such a sequence of deaths on a deserted island. It is a tightly constructed account of crime and consequence with no series detective to set things right.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy9raxgnkqzkkte10snkk4f.jpg","LGCs{+-TD*bI00NfWDRj.Tt7%Mxu",1951,187,[253],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[255,259,263,264,268,269],{"id":256,"name":257,"slug":258,"is_fiction":19},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":260,"name":261,"slug":262,"is_fiction":19},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":272,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":273,"themes":275,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[224,274,225],"mysterious",[232],{"id":277,"slug":278,"title":279,"description":280,"primary_cover_url":7,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":281,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":282,"authors":283,"genres":288,"series":293,"enrichment":303},"01kvkf46r27xytmynqvsy804vx","untitled-0xrw","心理試験","貧しい苦学生の蕗屋清一郎は、完璧な犯罪計画を企て、家主の老婆を殺害して大金を奪う。彼は警察の心理試験をも欺くための周到な対策を重ねて尋問に臨むが、その完璧すぎる回答に名探偵・明智小五郎が疑いの目を向ける。犯人の視点から描かれる、心理戦と論理的推理が交錯する初期の倒叙ミステリー。",1925,320,[284],{"id":285,"slug":286,"name":287},"01kvkf46rb71nb8hqf9hmxdq0g","untitled-ooiz","江戸川乱歩",[289,290,291,292],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},[294,299],{"id":295,"slug":296,"name":297,"position":298,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvkf46s2cs294trd7x546379","untitled-j8cr","明智小五郎シリーズ","2.00",{"id":300,"slug":301,"name":302,"position":298,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvkf8ze4gq8qknbfbg61kfk9","untitled-b0zc","明智小五郎事件簿",{"pace":220,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":304,"themes":306,"setting_period":7,"summary":280,"content_warnings":7},[224,226,305],"reflective",[307],"villain-protagonist",{"id":309,"slug":310,"title":311,"description":312,"primary_cover_url":313,"cover_blurhash":314,"first_publish_year":315,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":316,"authors":317,"genres":319,"series":324,"enrichment":327},"01kjq7r92t99z22xg5c396sd3v","murder-on-the-orient-express-ynex","Murder on the Orient Express","Returning from the Middle East aboard the famed Orient Express, the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot expects a quiet three-day journey across Europe.

Poirot refuses. In the night the train runs into a snowdrift in the wilds of Yugoslavia and stops dead, cut off from the world. By morning Ratchett lies dead in his locked compartment, stabbed a dozen times, and the killer can only be one of the passengers still trapped aboard. At the request of his friend M. Bouc, a director of the railway line, Poirot agrees to investigate. With no police, no escape, and the snow holding everyone in place, he questions each traveller and weighs a tangle of contradictory clues, false alibis, and a scrap of evidence pointing to an old American tragedy. As the accounts refuse to align, Poirot must reason his way toward a solution that tests his own sense of justice.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjq7r92t99z22xg5c396sd3v.jpg","LbLovZ$*%#xFv#MxNGog?^kCjFWB",2002,229,[318],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[320,321,322,323],{"id":256,"name":257,"slug":258,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[325],{"id":165,"slug":166,"name":43,"position":326,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"10.00",{"pace":220,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":328,"themes":329,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[274,224],[],{"id":331,"slug":332,"title":333,"description":334,"primary_cover_url":335,"cover_blurhash":336,"first_publish_year":337,"community_rating_avg":338,"community_rating_count":256,"page_count":339,"authors":340,"genres":345,"series":357,"enrichment":358},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good. To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.30",442,[341],{"id":342,"slug":343,"name":344},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[346,347,351,354,355,356],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":180,"name":352,"slug":353,"is_fiction":19},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":359,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":360,"themes":362,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[225,224,361],"philosophical",[],{"id":364,"slug":365,"title":366,"description":367,"primary_cover_url":368,"cover_blurhash":369,"first_publish_year":370,"community_rating_avg":371,"community_rating_count":372,"page_count":373,"authors":374,"genres":376,"series":380,"enrichment":383},"01kjq7xaywrbgaentkzp3nf748","the-murder-of-roger-ackroyd-jfdd","The Murder of Roger Ackroyd","In the quiet English village of King's Abbot, gossip travels fast and few secrets stay buried. The local doctor, James Sheppard, records the unsettling events that follow when wealthy widower Roger Ackroyd is found stabbed to death in the locked study of his country house, Fernly Park. The death comes close on the heels of two others: a woman who took her own life and the man she may have been protecting. Ackroyd had been on the verge of learning a dangerous truth, and his murder leaves the household riddled with suspects, debts, blackmail, and motive. Retired to a nearby cottage where he tends his marrows, the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is persuaded to abandon his vegetables and take the case at the request of Ackroyd's anxious niece, whose fiance has vanished under suspicion. Recounted by Sheppard, who becomes Poirot's confidant and assistant, the investigation moves through a closed circle of relatives, servants, and neighbours, each guarding something. As Poirot applies his methodical order and method to scattered clues, an inquisitive village chorus, led by the doctor's sharp-eyed sister Caroline, supplies rumour and revelation in equal measure. The result is a tightly plotted puzzle that rewards close attention and ends on a resolution readers have argued over ever since.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knh560g7x371kmyd7kp4r55m.jpg","LFJth#M|-pD%~pn~bbxu00M{IUt8",1926,"4.25",2,272,[375],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24},[377,378,379],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},[381],{"id":165,"slug":166,"name":43,"position":382,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"4.00",{"pace":220,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":384,"themes":385,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[274,224],[386],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":388,"slug":389,"title":390,"description":391,"primary_cover_url":392,"cover_blurhash":393,"first_publish_year":394,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":395,"authors":396,"genres":417,"series":421,"enrichment":427},"01kqz6msjc7q53dz4mwxpffscg","ask-a-policeman-ejsf","Ask A Policeman","**Lord Comstock is a barbarous newspaper tycoon with enemies in high places. His murder in the study of his country house poses a dilemma for the Home Secretary. In the hours before his death, Lord Comstock’s visitors included the government Chief Whip, an Archbishop, and the Assistant Commissioner for Scotland Yard. Suspicion falls upon them all and threatens the impartiality of any police investigation. Abandoning protocol, the Home Secretary invites four famous detectives to solve the case: Mrs Adela Bradley, Sir John Saumarez, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Mr Roger Sheringham. All are different, all are plausible, all are on their own – and none of them can ask a policeman...** To produce this classic whodunit, the Detection Club adopted a completely new approach: Milward Kennedy proposed the title, John Rhode plotted the murder and provided the suspects, and four of their contemporaries were asked to lend their well-known detectives to the task of providing solutions to the crime. But there was to be another twist: the authors would swap detectives and use the characters in their sections of the book. Thus Gladys Mitchell and Helen Simpson swapped Mrs Bradley and Sir John Saumarez, and Dorothy Sayers and Anthony Berkeley swapped Lord Peter Wimsey and Roger Sheringham, enabling the authors to indulge in skilful and sly parodies of each other. The contributors are: John Rhode, Helen Simpson, Gladys Mitchell, Anthony Berkeley, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Milward Kennedy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqz6msra655w06yvp180wxf7.jpg","L26Gbv1_IWkV39;iE#sA{hFbxFS2",1983,311,[397,401,405,409,413],{"id":398,"slug":399,"name":400},"01kjrgc4v1cnp8wgxs6xetk9tb","dorothy-l-sayers-1blq","Dorothy L.

Drawn to their old-money glamour and cloistered rituals, Richard reinvents himself to fit in among Henry, Bunny, Camilla, Charles, and Francis — a circle bound by a private language, a shared devotion to Greek philosophy, and a taste for excess.\n\nAs the group drifts further from ordinary campus life and toward increasingly extreme ideas about beauty, transcendence, and morality, their experiments culminate in an act of violence against one of their own. From its opening pages the novel makes clear that a death has occurred and that the narrator's friends are responsible — what follows is less a whodunit than a slow, unbearable study of why, and of what happens to a group of clever people once they have crossed an irreversible line.\n\nTold in hindsight by Richard years later, The Secret History is a campus novel turned inverted mystery, credited with popularizing the \"dark academia\" aesthetic. It is less interested in suspense than in psychology: guilt, complicity, intellectual arrogance, and the seductive danger of believing yourself exempt from ordinary morality.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kw21sc1h795gej05nq1bbhrw.jpg?v=029ac2869d","L06Hr=W?00bdIUIpVrR-00Ip~lE1","3.00",631,[798],{"id":799,"slug":800,"name":801},"01kjq7qe7a6kyqkw38qytcg6sn","donna-tartt-0wpq","Donna Tartt",[803,804,805,806,807],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":180,"name":352,"slug":353,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},{"id":256,"name":257,"slug":258,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":359,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":810,"themes":811,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[225,274,305],[812,657],"dark-academia",{"id":814,"slug":815,"title":816,"description":817,"primary_cover_url":818,"cover_blurhash":819,"first_publish_year":820,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":821,"authors":822,"genres":827,"series":834,"enrichment":835},"01kqxa9a88db4qvejym2ddc2ap","prom-dress-fhta","Prom dress","The pretty lace dress that Robin finds in her myterious employer's attic does not look deadly; it looks perfect for the prom.

Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent.

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.

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",2012,"3.75",486,[1167],{"id":1168,"slug":1169,"name":1170},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[1172,1173,1174,1175,1176,1177],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":256,"name":257,"slug":258,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":260,"name":261,"slug":262,"is_fiction":19},{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},{"id":614,"name":615,"slug":616,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":272,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":1180,"themes":1181,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[225,224],[386,783],{"id":1183,"slug":1184,"title":1185,"description":1186,"primary_cover_url":1187,"cover_blurhash":1188,"first_publish_year":756,"community_rating_avg":1189,"community_rating_count":256,"page_count":665,"authors":1190,"genres":1195,"series":1206,"enrichment":1211},"01kkc55h04g01p4wdz41h65sg4","the-perfect-marriage-caic","The Perfect Marriage","Sarah Morgan is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys in Washington, D.C. — sharp, celebrated, and used to winning.

The result is a portrait of a family, and a place, with something monstrous buried at its centre.\n\nDark even by Marrs's standards, Keep It in the Family is a twisty psychological thriller about inheritance, complicity, and the secrets houses keep. It is unflinching about its subject matter, building through overlapping timelines toward the full, disturbing truth of what was hidden behind the wall.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01ktszr9dq2em82ee0q7jpky5e.jpg?v=6586ba1565","L49*S?X:00n28wM_QRr=11Sj_4oe",2022,"3.80",[1283],{"id":1284,"slug":1285,"name":1286},"01knsz34b70zjv89qvabsbcvme","john-marrs-movx","John Marrs",[1288,1289,1290,1291],{"id":265,"name":266,"slug":267,"is_fiction":19},{"id":256,"name":257,"slug":258,"is_fiction":19},{"id":614,"name":615,"slug":616,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":272,"complexity":7,"audience":222,"mood":1294,"themes":1295,"setting_period":7,"summary":1296,"content_warnings":7},[225,224,1270,621],[783,431],"Mia and Finn buy a rundown house in the Bedfordshire countryside, hoping to start a family — until renovations uncover a message scratched into the floorboards and, behind a sealed attic wall, evidence of a decades-old horror.
