This month we’re reading The Queens of Crime by Marie Benedict — an instant USA Today & Indie bestseller!
From the bestselling author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie comes a thrilling tale about five legendary women writers of the Golden Age of Mystery — Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham, and Baroness Emma Orczy — who band together to solve a real-life murder.
Set in 1930s London, this story blends history and suspense as these brilliant women form a secret society to prove they’re more than “second-class citizens” in the world of crime writing. But when the killer turns their sights on one of them, the stakes become deadly real.
A mix of friendship, secrets, and mystery — this is a perfect fall read!
Inspired by a true story in Sayers’ own life, New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict brings to life the lengths to which five talented women writers will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters as they unpuzzle a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels.
Copies are available at the library (limited supply).
