Elly Griffiths - The Postscript Murders

In Elly Griffiths' The Postscript Murders, the death of 90-year-old Peggy Smith appears to be from natural causes, but her caretaker, Natalka, suspects otherwise. Her suspicions are confirmed when she discovers Peggy was a "murder consultant" for crime novelists and later, a gunman steals a book from Peggy's flat. Detective Sergeant Harbinder Kaur is drawn into the case, initially skeptical, but soon finds herself following a trail of clues that link Peggy's death to a wider conspiracy involving the publishing world and other murders. Alongside an unlikely trio of amateur sleuths—Natalka, Peggy's neighbour Edwin, and Benedict, a coffee shack owner—DS Kaur investigates the bizarre literary mystery. A witty and engaging tribute to classic crime fiction, the novel follows this charming cast as they uncover secrets that go far beyond what anyone expected.
