Agatha Christie’s West End hit to make Broadway debut after 70 years

This is a quirky mystery series that uses a lot of cozy mystery tropes but also takes some sharp turns away from the genre making it feel unique. Arya Winters has social anxiety, so while she lives in a quaint English village she isn’t going out of her way to spend time with neighbors. When she’s presented with an opportunity to bake her macabre desserts at a two week retreat, she jumps at the opportunity to get away from her meddling neighbors. Except the retreat is filled with new people who want to talk to her and murder is soon to follow…If you want to start at the beginning, pick up Arya Winters and the Tiramisu of Death.

If you’ve been patiently, or impatiently, awaiting the newest Gamache release, your wait has ended. Past events from Gamache’s life tie into the present: a past murder case of a mother who had two young children, Fiona and Sam; Gamache and his wife had taken Fiona under their wing; recruiting Jean-Guy Beauvoir during that case; a mass slaying in 1989 where a young Gamache was on the scene. Now there are several unsolved murders, Fiona and Sam return to Three Pines, and a long dead stone mason’s letter leads to the unbricking of an attic room filled with puzzles and hidden messages…If you want to start at the beginning of the series, pick up Still Life.
