(Pegasus)

“El-Hai digs into a case involving an Apache shaman and the author of Perry Mason in this fascinating true crime account.

Amanda Chapman, Mrs Christie and the Mystery in the Mews

“Chapman has a blast with her contemporary New York setting, resettling British mystery tropes among Manhattan’s rare books community, theatrical circles, and eccentric Upper East Siders. Uncovering a killer, it turns out, can be just as fun in the Big Apple as it is in St. Mary Mead. Fans of classic detective fiction are in for a treat.”
