Hello mystery fans! Today I have the biggest book hangover thanks to inhaling Jane Harper’s upcoming The Lost Man. Give it all the stars! I have to say, top crime writers right now that are killing it are Harper, Attica Locke, Megan Abbott, and Tana French. Hope you’re sliding into the weekend with a good book in your hand!

When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike’s office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. Trying to get to the bottom of the story, Strike and Robin Ellacott—once his assistant, now a partner in the agency—set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.
