"This droll romp is a latter-day Miss Marple." --Washington Post

Murder leaps off the page when crime novelists begin to turn up dead in this intricate new novel by internationally best-selling author Elly Griffiths, a literary mystery perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Agatha Christie.

The death of a ninety-year-old woman with a heart condition should not be suspicious. Detective Sergeant Harbinder Kaur certainly sees nothing out of the ordinary when Peggy's caretaker, Natalka, begins to recount Peggy Smith's passing.

But Natalka had a reason to be at the police station: while clearing out Peggy's flat, she noticed an unusual number of crime novels, all dedicated to Peggy. And each psychological thriller included a mysterious postscript: PS: for PS. When a gunman breaks into the flat to steal a book and its author is found dead shortly thereafter--Detective Kaur begins to think that perhaps there is no such thing as an unsuspicious death after all.

And then things escalate: from an Aberdeen literary festival to the streets of Edinburgh, writers are being targeted. DS Kaur embarks on a road trip across Europe and reckons with how exactly authors can think up such realistic crimes . . .

Industry Reviews

Praise for Elly Griffiths and THE POSTSCRIPT MURDERS Finalist for the CWA Gold Dagger Award A Most Anticipated Title of 2021 from Crime Reads and The Buzz Magazines A Best Book of March from New York Post and PopSugar "This droll romp is a latter-day Miss Marple." --Washington Post "A limitless talent, a novelist in the humane vein of Louise Penny and Kate Atkinson, Elly Griffiths is one of my flat-out favorite contemporary suspense writers. No matter the book--a Ruth Galloway mystery, a Magic Men caper, an ambitious, assured non-series thriller--she innovates and excites; I turn each final page both deeply satisfied and ravenous for more." --AJ Finn "A macabre ode to the mystery genre." --PopSugar "A motley and charming trio of amateur sleuths...Griffiths' strong sense of place--the sea is sparkling yet unsettling, Aberdeen's cliffs beautiful yet unforgiving--provides a rich foundation for a cleverly constructed story with complex, memorable characters...A cozy bibliophile's delight of a mystery that turns writerly research and acknowledgments into fodder for pivotal plot points, offers a tongue-in-cheek peek at the publishing business and pays tribute to friendships that transform into chosen families." --BookPage "Delightful...Told with Griffiths's characteristic charm and gentleness." --Daily Mail "A light-hearted, life-affirming celebration of crime fiction and the colourful characters that create it...Such witty and charming entertainment." --The Times "Delicious, unadulterated entertainment." --Sunday Express "This super-readable thriller will have you hooked." --The Sun "A love letter to murder mysteries, wrapped up in a character-rich caper." --Sunday Mirror "Griffiths assembles a vivid cast of characters, offering an enjoyably modern take on an old genre." --The Sunday Times "If you're looking for a laugh and to travel on a murder hunt, The Postscript Murders is the read for you." --Daily Record "An entertaining mystery for book-lovers." --Good Housekeeping "Always an expert in building tension and creating atmosphere in her thrillers, Elly Griffiths' latest is no exception." --Woman's Weekly "Dark and addictive." --Woman's Weekly Fiction "Smart and complex...even a little comic. Very satisfying; the intelligence unmistakable and the characters made as knowable as those in The Stranger Diaries, and--well, and this is clearly just a writer to be trusted with as much of your attention as she asks for." --Shawanjunk Journal "Complex characters, hidden histories, and adept twists enrich the narrative. Readers will be enthralled." --Publishers Weekly "Griffiths, author of the long-running Ruth Galloway series, follows the success of her first standalone, The Stranger Diaries (2019), win --
