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,[146],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[151,152,156,157,161,162],{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":19},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":19},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":165,"themes":166,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,83,79],[167],"locked-room",{"id":169,"slug":170,"title":171,"description":172,"primary_cover_url":173,"cover_blurhash":174,"first_publish_year":175,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":176,"authors":177,"genres":182,"series":203,"enrichment":204},"01kjq7v4qvw47f5m5yx3355ct2","heart-of-darkness-w991","Heart of Darkness","Aboard a boat moored on the Thames, the seaman Charles Marlow tells his companions the story of a journey that changed him. Years earlier, working for a Belgian trading company, Marlow travelled up the Congo River into the heart of the African interior to relieve Kurtz, a brilliant and celebrated ivory agent who has fallen silent at a remote inner station.\n\nWhat Marlow finds along the way is a catalogue of colonial greed and cruelty — abandoned machinery, dying labourers, and a rapacious enterprise dressed up in the language of civilization — and at the end of it, Kurtz himself: a man who came to Africa full of noble ideals and was hollowed out by unchecked power and his own appetites. The closer Marlow draws to him, the more the \"darkness\" of the title reveals itself as something in the colonizers, and perhaps in every human heart.\n\nFirst published in 1899, Joseph Conrad's short novel is a landmark of literary modernism, famous for its dense, atmospheric prose and its unsparing, if much-debated, view of European imperialism. It remains one of the most analyzed and contested works in English literature.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qqg33jb564azj5w7ja4k.jpg","LIN14E4TiaH=~qV@IUIB~qoMD%WB",1899,146,[178],{"id":179,"slug":180,"name":181},"01kjq7v4qzvppnaja4w7nk4v4c","joseph-conrad-cxx8","Joseph Conrad",[183,187,191,192,196,197,198,199],{"id":184,"name":185,"slug":186,"is_fiction":18},85,"Travel","travel",{"id":188,"name":189,"slug":190,"is_fiction":19},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":200,"name":201,"slug":202,"is_fiction":19},140,"Adventure","adventure",[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":206,"themes":208,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[79,207],"reflective",[],{"id":210,"slug":211,"title":212,"description":213,"primary_cover_url":7,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":214,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":215,"authors":216,"genres":221,"series":226,"enrichment":236},"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,[217],{"id":218,"slug":219,"name":220},"01kvkf46rb71nb8hqf9hmxdq0g","untitled-ooiz","江戸川乱歩",[222,223,224,225],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":19},[227,232],{"id":228,"slug":229,"name":230,"position":231,"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":233,"slug":234,"name":235,"position":231,"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":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":237,"themes":239,"setting_period":7,"summary":213,"content_warnings":7},[134,238,207],"intellectual",[240],"villain-protagonist",{"id":242,"slug":243,"title":244,"description":245,"primary_cover_url":246,"cover_blurhash":247,"first_publish_year":248,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":249,"authors":250,"genres":252,"series":257,"enrichment":263},"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,[251],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},[253,254,255,256],{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[258],{"id":259,"slug":260,"name":261,"position":262,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkwz9p4n93hgbfc311q4ap41","hercule-poirot-wiqp","Hercule Poirot","10.00",{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":264,"themes":265,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,134],[],{"id":267,"slug":268,"title":269,"description":270,"primary_cover_url":271,"cover_blurhash":272,"first_publish_year":273,"community_rating_avg":274,"community_rating_count":116,"page_count":275,"authors":276,"genres":281,"series":288,"enrichment":289},"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,[277],{"id":278,"slug":279,"name":280},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[282,283,284,285,286,287],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":18},{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":19},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":290,"themes":292,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,134,291],"philosophical",[],{"id":294,"slug":295,"title":296,"description":297,"primary_cover_url":298,"cover_blurhash":299,"first_publish_year":300,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":301,"authors":302,"genres":307,"series":333,"enrichment":334},"01kjq7t1qcy9pbh8f95ej0vpf0","the-secret-garden-wi6x","The Secret Garden","When a cholera epidemic in India leaves ten-year-old Mary Lennox orphaned, she is sent across the world to Misselthwaite Manor, the vast, half-shuttered Yorkshire estate of an uncle she has never met. 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",1911,196,[303],{"id":304,"slug":305,"name":306},"01kjq7t1qj0csb4j27fj7gm3ab","frances-hodgson-burnett-wpy2","Frances Hodgson Burnett",[308,312,313,314,318,322,323,327,328,332],{"id":309,"name":310,"slug":311,"is_fiction":19},2,"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":315,"name":316,"slug":317,"is_fiction":19},65,"Middle Grade","middle-grade",{"id":319,"name":320,"slug":321,"is_fiction":19},17,"Children's Books","childrens",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":324,"name":325,"slug":326,"is_fiction":19},66,"Juvenile","juvenile",{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":19},{"id":329,"name":330,"slug":331,"is_fiction":18},93,"Nature","nature",{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":335,"mood":336,"themes":340,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"middle_grade",[337,338,339],"heartwarming","hopeful","cozy",[341],"found-family",{"id":343,"slug":344,"title":345,"description":346,"primary_cover_url":347,"cover_blurhash":348,"first_publish_year":349,"community_rating_avg":350,"community_rating_count":309,"page_count":351,"authors":352,"genres":357,"series":363,"enrichment":364},"01kjq7qe73qk2d7ww2x59rkjng","the-secret-history-ggzm","The Secret History","Richard Papen, a scholarship student from a flat, joyless corner of California, arrives at Hampden College in rural Vermont and talks his way into an exclusive, insular group of Classics students studying under the charismatic professor Julian Morrow. 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",1992,"3.00",631,[353],{"id":354,"slug":355,"name":356},"01kjq7qe7a6kyqkw38qytcg6sn","donna-tartt-0wpq","Donna Tartt",[358,359,360,361,362],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":19},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":205,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":365,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,83,207],[367,368],"dark-academia","morally-grey",{"id":370,"slug":371,"title":372,"description":373,"primary_cover_url":374,"cover_blurhash":375,"first_publish_year":376,"community_rating_avg":377,"community_rating_count":309,"page_count":378,"authors":379,"genres":381,"series":385,"enrichment":388},"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",272,[380],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},[382,383,384],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[386],{"id":259,"slug":260,"name":261,"position":387,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"4.00",{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":389,"themes":390,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,134],[391],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":393,"slug":394,"title":395,"description":396,"primary_cover_url":397,"cover_blurhash":398,"first_publish_year":399,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":400,"authors":401,"genres":410,"series":426,"enrichment":427},"01kjx78tnkr6raaxns48ywvz8b","we-have-always-lived-in-the-castle-seoh","We Have Always Lived in the Castle","Eighteen-year-old Mary Katherine \"Merricat\" Blackwood lives at the edge of a village with her gentle older sister Constance and their ailing uncle Julian, the three of them the only survivors of a poisoning that killed the rest of the family six years earlier.

A celebrated painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods. 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,"4.08",13,338,[660],{"id":661,"slug":662,"name":663},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[665,666,667,668,669],{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":19},{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":672,"themes":673,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,83,134],[391],{"id":675,"slug":676,"title":677,"description":678,"primary_cover_url":679,"cover_blurhash":680,"first_publish_year":470,"community_rating_avg":681,"community_rating_count":682,"page_count":683,"authors":684,"genres":689,"series":701,"enrichment":702},"01kjq80kf9938jetgptddrgx9j","verity-oqqr","Verity","Struggling author Lowen Ashby accepts an assignment: travel to the home of bestselling thriller writer Verity Crawford, incapacitated after an accident, and ghostwrite the remaining books in Verity's series. While searching Verity's study for notes, Lowen discovers what appears to be an autobiography — a manuscript confessing to events so disturbing she cannot determine whether it is genuine, deliberate fiction, or something meant to be found. Verity's husband Jeremy is in the house, grieving his children. As Lowen and Jeremy grow closer, she must decide what to do with what she has read — and whether the woman in the wheelchair is as helpless as she appears. Originally self-published in 2018, Verity was picked up by Grand Central Publishing in 2021 and became a number-one New York Times bestseller.

Abandoned first by her mother and siblings and then by her violent father, she raises herself in a shack among the reeds, learning the tides, birds, and creatures of the marsh better than any schoolroom could teach her. To the people of the nearby town of Barkley Cove she is only the \"Marsh Girl,\" an object of gossip and suspicion.\n\nThe novel moves between two timelines. One follows Kya's isolated childhood and her tentative attempts to connect with two young men who notice her, Tate Walker and Chase Andrews. The other opens in 1969 with the discovery of Chase's body beneath a fire tower and the murder investigation that draws the town's attention back to the woman at the edge of the water.\n\nDelia Owens, a wildlife scientist, folds close observation of the natural world into a coming-of-age story, a courtroom mystery, and a meditation on loneliness and belonging. Where the Crawdads Sing became a word-of-mouth phenomenon, spending years on bestseller lists and inspiring a feature film.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqxh46c4sc1gg31pfnprrzh.jpg","L=N*~=X8NGs.}?ofsmfQOYoLs.az","3.95",11,[715],{"id":716,"slug":717,"name":718},"01kjqxh46n2amfeft55wjv1yxq","delia-owens-t0wo","Delia Owens",[720,721,722,723],{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":107,"name":108,"slug":109,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":329,"name":330,"slug":331,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":726,"themes":728,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[207,727,83],"emotional",[489,729],"coming-of-age",{"id":731,"slug":732,"title":733,"description":734,"primary_cover_url":735,"cover_blurhash":736,"first_publish_year":737,"community_rating_avg":738,"community_rating_count":713,"page_count":739,"authors":740,"genres":745,"series":756,"enrichment":761},"01kjq7nras6zteqkynzng3ffbc","the-da-vinci-code-zcmz","The Da Vinci Code","Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is jolted awake in Paris by a late-night call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body arranged in a strange pose and ringed by baffling ciphers. 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,"4.27",454,[741],{"id":742,"slug":743,"name":744},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[746,747,748,749,750,754,755],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":19},{"id":153,"name":154,"slug":155,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":751,"name":752,"slug":753,"is_fiction":18},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"is_fiction":19},{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":18},[757],{"id":758,"slug":759,"name":760,"position":231,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon",{"pace":132,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":762,"themes":764,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,83,763],"adventurous",[],{"id":766,"slug":767,"title":768,"description":769,"primary_cover_url":770,"cover_blurhash":771,"first_publish_year":443,"community_rating_avg":772,"community_rating_count":120,"page_count":629,"authors":773,"genres":778,"series":784,"enrichment":788},"01kk0mxtd6cbghhmppf2eqdb9m","rock-paper-scissors-r9vz","Rock Paper Scissors","Adam and Amelia Wright's marriage is quietly falling apart, so when they win a weekend away at a converted chapel in the remote Scottish Highlands, it feels like a last chance to fix things — or an ending in disguise.
