<\/figure>Moonflower Murders<\/a> by Anthony Horowitz<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFarlingaye Hall is a beautiful hotel in Suffolk on the east coast of England. Unfortunately, it is also the site of the brutal murder of Frank Parris, a retired advertising executive. Stefan Codrescu, a Romanian maintenance man, is arrested after police discover blood spatter on his clothes and bed linen. He is found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison. It appears to be an open-and-shut case, but there is more to it than meets the eye.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nA Brief History of Seven Killings<\/a> by Marlon James<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nJames deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters \u2013 gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts \u2013 over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s.

<\/figure>\nThe Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie<\/a> by Alan Bradley<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA series of mysterious events gets Flavia\u2019s attention: A dead bird is found on the doormat, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. A mysterious late-night visitor argues with her aloof father, Colonel de Luce, behind closed doors. And in the early morning Flavia finds a red-headed stranger lying in the cucumber patch and watches him take his dying breath. For Flavia, the summer begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw: \u201cI wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn\u2019t. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.library.mcgill.ca\/hsslibrary\/files\/2024\/01\/image-1-copy-3.png\")
<\/figure>\nFates and Furies<\/a> by Lauren Groff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAt age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nTruly Devious<\/a> by Maureen Johnson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nShortly after Ellingham Academy opened, Albert Ellingham’s wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history. True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
