She arrives at Manderley, his magnificent estate on the Cornish coast, expecting happiness — and instead finds herself living in the suffocating shadow of Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, who drowned less than a year before.\n\nRebecca is everywhere at Manderley: in the monogrammed linens, the untouched morning room, and above all in Mrs. Danvers, the fanatically devoted housekeeper who worshipped her former mistress and makes no secret of her contempt for the woman who has replaced her. The new bride, young, insecure, and nameless throughout the novel, becomes convinced she can never measure up to Rebecca's beauty, sophistication, and charm — until the truth about Rebecca's death, and about her marriage to Maxim, comes violently to light.\n\nDaphne du Maurier's Gothic masterpiece is a study in psychological suspense, jealousy, and the way the dead can dominate the living. Its famous opening line — \"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again\" — has become one of the most recognized in English literature, and the novel remains a defining work of romantic suspense.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjrg2sdnkj7w5mzsk1db6wbv.jpg","LAE1{qa001o}0Lt7~CRj%MJo4:wb",1938,410,[145],{"id":146,"slug":147,"name":148},"01kjrg2sfa7kncp4hgs8jsq3mf","daphne-du-maurier-esmc","Daphne du Maurier",[150,151,155,159,160,164,168,172],{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"is_fiction":19},10,"Folklore","folklore",{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":19},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":19},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":19},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":175,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":176,"themes":178,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[124,177],"mysterious",[],{"id":180,"slug":181,"title":182,"description":183,"primary_cover_url":184,"cover_blurhash":185,"first_publish_year":186,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":187,"authors":188,"genres":209,"series":229,"enrichment":230},"01krgy6mmhh61hd825t764k0sr","full-moon-magic-a15n","Full Moon Magic","This collection presents five romantic tales where magic and mystery intertwine under the full moon.

As she watches him, and as the narrative shifts between Ted, Olivia, and Dee, the reader is pulled into a story where nothing is stable and no account can be trusted.\n\nCatriona Ward's genre-bending psychological horror is a masterclass in misdirection — unbearably tense, deeply unsettling, and built around a structure that reveals itself only piece by piece. To say much more would spoil it; part of its power is how completely it upends what you think you understand.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjf8782g69ew3294mmgqq0.jpg","L7Cs8IIfKl~k^XIK4q^|.NIDa9?S",2021,"3.50",1,337,[404],{"id":405,"slug":406,"name":407},"01kkfjf872chhy93qka6vq4dvr","catriona-ward-yaht","Catriona Ward",[409,410,414,415,416,417],{"id":114,"name":345,"slug":346,"is_fiction":19},{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":19},{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":418,"name":419,"slug":420,"is_fiction":19},50,"Psychological Horror","psychological-horror",[],{"pace":263,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":423,"themes":424,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[124,177],[425],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":427,"slug":428,"title":429,"description":430,"primary_cover_url":431,"cover_blurhash":432,"first_publish_year":433,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":434,"authors":435,"genres":444,"series":455,"enrichment":456},"01kkfh6kcwb95csys6sfsfvdnq","lhacienda-ywnc","The Hacienda","In the turbulent aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, Beatriz has lost everything: her father executed, her home destroyed, her mother's family unwilling to take her in. So when the wealthy Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes marriage, she accepts, choosing security over caution and ignoring the whispers about how his first wife died.\n\nBut Hacienda San Isidro, Rodolfo's remote country estate, is no refuge. The moment her husband returns to the capital, the house turns against Beatriz — cold spots, voices, red eyes in the dark, and dreams that leave marks.

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,[505],{"id":506,"slug":507,"name":508},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[510,511,512,513,514,518],{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":19},{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":19},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":19},{"id":515,"name":516,"slug":517,"is_fiction":19},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":263,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":521,"themes":522,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[123,177,124],[126],{"id":524,"slug":525,"title":526,"description":527,"primary_cover_url":528,"cover_blurhash":529,"first_publish_year":530,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":531,"authors":532,"genres":537,"series":547,"enrichment":552},"01kjq7pex9g3bnmevvqmdc027f","one-of-us-is-lying-vjiq","One Of Us Is Lying","When five students file into detention at Bayview High — Bronwyn the overachiever, Addy the prom queen, Nate the criminal, Cooper the athlete, and Simon, the outcast who runs the school's notorious gossip app — only four walk out alive.

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.

Madeline is sharp-tongued, loyal, and still nursing old grievances; Celeste is beautiful, wealthy, and privately unravelling; and Jane, a young single mother new to town, carries a secret about her son's father that she has told no one.\n\nFrom its opening pages the novel makes clear that a parents' trivia night at the school will end in a death — but not who died, or how. Liane Moriarty works backward and forward around that night, unspooling months of playground rivalries, misunderstood accusations, and the small daily performances that hold a marriage or a friendship together.\n\nBeneath the wit and the suburban comedy runs a serious study of domestic violence, shame, and the way communities close ranks around uncomfortable truths. Told through multiple points of view and interspersed with gossip from the other parents, Big Little Lies builds steadily toward a reveal that reframes everything, while staying rooted in the ordinary texture of school runs, coffee mornings, and second marriages.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc8y0jx0h1sq4azwpvcpm4x.jpg","LNMaO._NIp%MR-RjkCog0KMxS0Rj",2014,482,[565],{"id":566,"slug":567,"name":568},"01kkc6240gdpj3z5wxq6pzbnms","liane-moriarty-ibqx","Liane Moriarty",[570,571,572,573,577],{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":19},{"id":574,"name":575,"slug":576,"is_fiction":19},43,"Domestic Thriller","domestic-thriller",{"id":578,"name":579,"slug":580,"is_fiction":19},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[582],{"id":583,"slug":584,"name":558,"position":324,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01knb71vk3k39hq5qe4zx7m8xt","big-little-lies-kem5",{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":586,"themes":588,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[587,123],"funny",[126],{"id":590,"slug":591,"title":592,"description":593,"primary_cover_url":594,"cover_blurhash":595,"first_publish_year":596,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":597,"authors":598,"genres":603,"series":606,"enrichment":607},"01kr83c01r36xhpch868x2wqwf","untitled-gunq","砂の女","An entomologist on a summer vacation to collect insects finds himself stranded in a remote coastal village.

Set in Allahabad, it follows Chandar, a young scholar working under Professor Shukla, and Sudha, the professor's daughter, whose deep affection for each other never crosses into an openly acknowledged romance.\n\nChandar treats Sudha with an almost devotional restraint, and Sudha, bound by filial duty and the social expectations of her time, ultimately agrees to an arranged marriage rather than pursue what exists between them. Bharati traces the emotional cost of that restraint on both characters, along with the surrounding cast of Chandar's friends and Sudha's sister Binti, whose own romantic entanglement runs parallel to the central story.\n\nThe novel is often read as an exploration of idealized, sacrificial love shaped by post-independence India's social conservatism, and its prose style — lyrical, emotionally direct, steeped in classical Hindi literary tradition — has made it a fixture of Hindi literature curricula and one of the best-selling Hindi novels of the twentieth century.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kwdx2bf3qkrgf1xngeeceh33.jpg?v=ec6b8d3049","L~OyhYxvXSs,_NkCoLayIqRPnhj]",258,[728,732],{"id":729,"slug":730,"name":731},"01kwdx2bfesa3hzn1hhnc5t97y","dharamvir-bharati-xiod","Dharamvir Bharati",{"id":733,"slug":734,"name":735},"01kwdx2bfg4mp47cvtwgjtzpfg","thharamavara-bharata-30n0","धर्मवीर भारती",[737,738,739],{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":19},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":175,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":742,"themes":745,"setting_period":7,"summary":746,"content_warnings":7},[743,458,744,292],"melancholic","emotional",[355],"A landmark Hindi novel about the tragic love between Chandar, a young Sanskrit researcher, and Sudha, the daughter of his professor and mentor, set in Allahabad.

A film adaptation was produced by Amazon MGM Studios.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5sb3xf1p6e47hw7r9qbsc.jpg","L07d?._100Iv00My~Ts94qoc?FNI","3.58",368,[977],{"id":978,"slug":979,"name":980},"01kjq6v9dwbpe21n6wtm0rrkp1","colleen-hoover-kfvf","Colleen Hoover",[982,983,984,985,989,990],{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":19},{"id":574,"name":575,"slug":576,"is_fiction":19},{"id":986,"name":987,"slug":988,"is_fiction":19},37,"Dark Romance","dark-romance",{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":263,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":993,"themes":994,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[124,123],[425],{"id":996,"slug":997,"title":998,"description":999,"primary_cover_url":1000,"cover_blurhash":1001,"first_publish_year":807,"community_rating_avg":1002,"community_rating_count":1003,"page_count":7,"authors":1004,"genres":1009,"series":1017,"enrichment":1018},"01kjqxh46c4sc1gg31pfnprrzh","where-the-crawdads-sing-czay","Where the Crawdads Sing","In the marshes of coastal North Carolina, Catherine \"Kya\" Clark grows up almost entirely alone. 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,[1005],{"id":1006,"slug":1007,"name":1008},"01kjqxh46n2amfeft55wjv1yxq","delia-owens-t0wo","Delia Owens",[1010,1011,1012,1013],{"id":118,"name":258,"slug":259,"is_fiction":19},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1014,"name":1015,"slug":1016,"is_fiction":18},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":1019,"themes":1021,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[1020,744,177],"reflective",[294,354],{"id":1023,"slug":1024,"title":1025,"description":1026,"primary_cover_url":1027,"cover_blurhash":1028,"first_publish_year":1029,"community_rating_avg":1030,"community_rating_count":1003,"page_count":1031,"authors":1032,"genres":1037,"series":1048,"enrichment":1054},"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,[1033],{"id":1034,"slug":1035,"name":1036},"01kjq7nrb18rgx9m126z6hryqe","dan-brown-pwui","Dan Brown",[1038,1039,1040,1041,1042,1046,1047],{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":19},{"id":118,"name":258,"slug":259,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1043,"name":1044,"slug":1045,"is_fiction":18},75,"Philosophy & Religion","philosophy-religion",{"id":515,"name":516,"slug":517,"is_fiction":19},{"id":225,"name":226,"slug":227,"is_fiction":18},[1049],{"id":1050,"slug":1051,"name":1052,"position":1053,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7nrssg9jm7at57d8e2wh2","robert-langdon-nnyu","Robert Langdon","2.00",{"pace":263,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":1055,"themes":1057,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[123,177,1056],"adventurous",[],{"id":1059,"slug":1060,"title":1061,"description":1062,"primary_cover_url":1063,"cover_blurhash":1064,"first_publish_year":399,"community_rating_avg":1065,"community_rating_count":118,"page_count":922,"authors":1066,"genres":1071,"series":1077,"enrichment":1081},"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. Adam has face blindness and cannot reliably recognize even his own wife, which makes the isolated, snowbound retreat more disorienting still.\n\nAs the couple mark their tenth anniversary, the trip reveals itself to be no accident. Chapters alternate with a series of anniversary letters that peel back a decade of a marriage neither partner has told the whole truth about, and it becomes clear that someone has engineered this weekend for reasons of their own.\n\nAlice Feeney's twisty domestic thriller is a story about the lies inside a marriage and how little we can truly know the person we've promised our life to.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktdesf7jtw530n0kxa0taycw.jpg?v=fa8b3d8eda","L4Bypz%200RP[;V@?vWV00kC~qIU","3.63",[1067],{"id":1068,"slug":1069,"name":1070},"01kk0mxthzs2p4w07pp0s3b8d5","alice-feeney-kio4","Alice Feeney",[1072,1073,1074,1075,1076],{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":19},{"id":165,"name":166,"slug":167,"is_fiction":19},{"id":316,"name":317,"slug":318,"is_fiction":19},{"id":574,"name":575,"slug":576,"is_fiction":19},{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},[1078],{"id":1079,"slug":1080,"name":1061,"position":324,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kq2jz1npf9egm9jx358madfe","rock-paper-scissors-6vhv",{"pace":263,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":1082,"themes":1083,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[123,177,124],[425],[]]
