Book conservator turned reluctant sleuth Tory Van Dyne joins forces with a woman who claims to be the ghost of Agatha Christie to solve a mystery in this spectral sequel.
Praise for Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library
“Chapman does a wonderful job of bringing the iconic Christie to life in a believable manner and surrounding her with a charming cast of characters and a twisty plot worthy of the Queen of Crime. Recommended for readers of Colleen Cambridge’s Phyllida Bright series and a real treat for any Christie fan.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Fans of the Queen of Crime will delight in this modernized classic mystery, heavily laden with Christie lore.” —Kirkus
"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." —Publishers Weekly
Amanda Chapman is a lifelong mystery lover and wordsmith. An enthusiastic fan of traditional mysteries and of New York City she found herself wondering, "What if someone recreated Agatha Christie's personal library -– even to the furnishings and architecture -- in New York City? What would happen in that space?" And thus MRS. CHRISTIE AT THE MYSTERY GUILD LIBRARY, the first in a new series, was born.
