Channel your inner Agatha Christie fan! Lucy Foley, the mastermind behind the captivating “The Guest List,” is back with another locked-room whodunit that’ll have you guessing until the very end. This time, the scene of the crime is an isolated manor nestled deep within an ancient forest – not exactly the ideal location when a murder disrupts a high-society gathering.

The novel follows Eileen Merriweather, a literature professor who unexpectedly finds herself stranded in Eloraton—a quaint town straight out of her favorite romance series.

As Eileen navigates this charming yet frozen town, she encounters a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes and impeccable taste in novels. The twist? Eloraton seems to be trapped in the late author’s unfinished story. Poston weaves a unique tale that intertwines the town’s happily-ever-after with Eileen’s own journey.

God of War by Rina Kent

Reviews suggest it follows Kent’s signature style, with a dark and intense hero and a heroine who might find herself swept up in a whirlwind of obsessive desire. While some readers enjoy this dynamic, others found the hero’s behavior off-putting. The book can be read on its own, but for a richer experience, starting with “God of Malice” is recommended.


One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon
