Pamela Mclaren | 365 comments Just picked out of my stash Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz. Of course, I have watched the PBS TV series but I also think I will get a lot out of reading the book.

message 997: by Werner (new)

Werner | 257 comments My Goodreads friend Heather Day Gilbert is a writer I've often mentioned here, and a favorite for both me and my wife. As of yesterday, we started reading her newest novel, Queen of Hearts by Heather Day Gilbert Queen of Hearts (2024). Though she's not a new writer in the mystery genre, as this book is a stand-alone work of psychological suspense, it's a new departure for her; she likes to read novels in this subgenre, but hasn't published one of her own until this one.
