On shelves tomorrow - “Secrets Typed in Blood” by @playwrightsteve. This is the newest and third entry in one of my favorite new detective series featuring characters Lillian Pentecost and Will Parker. I love these two and I completely crave the 40s noir vibe in these pages that I wish there were 100 more books to read in the series. The case they are trying to solve in this one just flows so easily that this might be the only book I could be reading during such a busy and distracting holiday season! Thank you @doubledaybooks and @ejcrowe42 for sending me this finished copy. See below for book details, but I would start with the first book in this series “Fortune Favors the Dead.” If you like detective fiction, I guarantee you will be as charmed by Pentecost and Parker as I am! New York City, 1947: For years, Holly Quick has made a good living off of murder, filling up the pages of pulp detective magazines with gruesome tales of revenge. Now someone is bringing her stories to life and leaving a trail of blood-soaked bodies behind. With the threat of another murder looming, and reluctant to go to the police, Holly turns to the best crime-solving duo in or out of the pulps, Willowjean “Will” Parker and her boss, famed detective Lillian Pentecost. The pair are handed the seemingly-impossible task of investigating three murders at once without tipping off the cops or the press that the crimes are connected. Soon they are diving into an underground world of people obsessed with murder and the men and women who commit them. Can the killer be found in the Black Museum Club, run by a philanthropist whose collection of grim murder memorabilia may not be enough to satisfy his lust for the homicidal? Or is it Holly Quick’s pair of editors, who read about murder all day, but clearly aren’t telling the full story? With victims seemingly chosen at random and a murderer who thrives on spectacle, the case has the great Lillian Pentecost questioning her methods. But whatever she does, she’d better do it fast. Holly Quick has a secret, too and it’s about to bring death right to Pentecost and Parker’s doorstep.
