WEEK BEGINNING 20/01/25

Library Display: Criminally Good Books

Our stairwell display this term highlights one of our most popular genres: the murder mystery. Detectives on the hunt, elusive criminals, clues to be decrypted... The murder mystery has all the ingredients of a page turner!

Agatha Christie is still the undisputed master of the genre; And Then There Were None is a masterpiece of chilling suspense. For those looking for similar novels in a modern setting, you can’t go wrong with the new Agathas series by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson!

Elsewhere, we’ve got detective fiction with a fantasy twist in A Master of Djinn , a con-man gone rogue in The Talented Mr. Ripley , the atmospheric Iceland-set drama of Burial Rites , and Donna Tartt’s dark academia bestseller The Secret History .

All available in the library!
