Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu: The series is an adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s same titled novel, about a group of strangers who end up together at a wellness retreat. The novel was fiction with a “wait for it” crime tag and while I’m not sure how much it’ll lean toward crime, it’s created by David E. Kelley who did the Moriarty adaptation of Big Little Lies. And the cast is amazing including Regina Hall, Manny Jacinto, Melissa McCarthy, Nicole Kidman, Bobby Cannavale–to name some. Watch the trailer.

From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks
I’m starting with two GREAT middle grade mystery novels. Before you skip over because you don’t read middle grade ,at these prices it’s a great way to try one and realize they are fantastic reads for all ages. For $1.99 you can read all about a 7th grader who applies to be on a baking competition (think GBBO) and finds out at the same time that her bio dad, who she’s always known is in prison for murdering a woman, still says he’s innocent which is the part she didn’t know. Thus begins the mystery. Get this book! (Review)
The Parker Inheritance by Varian Johnson
And your second middle grade read is also $1.99, but this one has a puzzle mystery and has past and present mystery. It follows a girl who’s just moved after her parents divorce and is trying to find her place, and also solve a mystery. For readers who don’t read middle grade because they think it’s too juvenile, here’s one that may surprise you at how well they can handle real topics with nuance. (Review)
Theme Music by T. Marie Vandelly
