Our newest American Mystery Classic came out on Tuesday!
Anthony Boucher’s The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars features members of the famed literary organization solving crimes on the set of a Sherlock Holmes film adaptation, where the murders pay homage to the great sleuth’s greatest cases. At once a puzzling whodunit and a playful reckoning with the legacy of Arthur Conan Doyle’s immortal character, this is a Golden Age mystery that any fan of the genre won’t want to miss.
Available in hardcover ($25.95) and paperback ($15.95).

The newest Scarlet release, which arrives in stores on October 13th, has just come in from the printer! Julie Cameron's Only Truth is an atmospheric and chilling debut thriller in which an artist flees her troubled past in London for a new life with her husband in the English countryside... But when she gets there, she immediately senses a familiar danger, and her new house keeps reminding her of the traumatic event she's still struggling to get away from. Are these threats real? Or just a product of the demons in her mind? Kirkus called it "a deep plunge into a haunted psyche slowly stretched to the breaking point." $25.95.

Charles' Favorite:
Magpie Murders
by Anthony Horowitz
It's difficult to describe the way in which Anthony Horowitz's masterful mystery, Magpie Murders, ties a character's "real-life" investigation into the mystery found in the pages of a fictional whodunit without giving too much of the plot away, so I'll just give you the basics here. The book follows editor Susan Ryeland, who has just received her biggest client's newest manuscript, a traditional mystery set in an English village. Before she finishes the book, though, she finds herself involved in a mystery of her own, and somehow the solution seems to reside within the text before her. The fact that the "fictional" tale is as compelling as the "real-life" storyline is a dazzling feat, allowing for the reader to first enjoy a very pleasant tale of small-town murder, reading it along with Ryeland, and then dive into a smart, layered story of literary detective work which examines the pleasures of mystery fiction while also engaging in them. If you're like me and somehow avoided reading this book when it came out, even as it inspired a mountain of praise, I suggest you correct that as soon as possible—and with the sequel coming out next month, there's no time like the present. $16.99.

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and in front of everybody shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird. McBride brings to vivid life the people affected by the shooting: the victim, the African-American and Latinx residents who witnessed it, the white neighbors, the local cops assigned to investigate, the members of the Five Ends Baptist Church where Sportcoat was deacon, the neighborhood's Italian mobsters, and Sportcoat himself.

Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. The hurricane is devastating, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head. Who would want Nelson dead? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous. Camino Winds is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach read—# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best. Signed (Tipped In Page). $28.95

This week we received signed copies of Death in Her Hands, the latest novel from Ottessa Moshfegh. While on her daily walk with her dog in a secluded woods, a woman comes across a note, handwritten and carefully pinned to the ground by stones. "Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn't me. Here is her dead body." But there is no dead body. Becoming obsessed with solving this mystery, our narrator imagines who Magda was and how she met her fate. A triumphant blend of horror, suspense, and pitch-black comedy, Death in Her Hands asks us to consider how the stories we tell ourselves both reflect the truth and keep us blind to it. Once again, we are in the hands of a narrator whose unreliability is well earned, and the stakes have never been higher. Signed on a Tip-In Page. $27.00
