Mystery ensues from an elderly murder-plot writer’s death.
If you're keen on a twisty whodunit that gently mocks the genre while providing its own suspense, "The Postscript Murders" fits the bill. It's a cleverly crafted mystery with enough quirks and complexities to keep you hooked, and the literary references scattered throughout are a delight for any book lover. The homage to classic crime novels adds a layer of depth, making this more than just a puzzle to solve.

Description
Murder leaps off the page when crime novelists begin to turn up dead in this intricate new novel by internationally best-selling author Elly Griffiths. The death of a ninety-year-old woman with a heart condition should not be suspicious. Detective Sergeant Harbinder Kaur certainly sees nothing out of the ordinary when Peggy’s caretaker, Natalka, begins to recount Peggy Smith’s passing. But Natalka had a reason to be at the police station: while clearing out Peggy’s flat, she noticed an unusual number of crime novels, all dedicated to Peggy. And each psychological thriller included a mysterious postscript: PS: for PS. When a gunman breaks into the flat to steal a book and its author is found dead shortly thereafter—Detective Kaur begins to think that perhaps there is no such thing as an unsuspicious death after all. And then things escalate: from an Aberdeen literary festival to the streets of Edinburgh, writers are being targeted. DS Kaur embarks on a road trip across Europe and reckons with how exactly authors can think up such realistic crimes . . .
