But Which One Did It?

This picture appeared everywhere this week, but I like it.
I haven't read a Kay Scarpetta book for awhile, but her new one, titled Autopsy soundslike everything I used to love about the character and series.
The real meaning of this tale, revealed.
From Novel Suspects, "A Brief History of WhoDunit" my personal favorite type of mystery. Which explains why I'm enjoying Poirot so much.

Upcoming Books
How exciting it is to by chance see a new book is coming out by an author you love. Last year's Murder In Old Bombay by Nev March was such a wonderful mystery.

I don't think I expected it to have a sequel though I loved the characters. Then I stop by the author's site and bam!
Captain Jim Agnihotri and his bride Diana Framji are now in Boston, but will be traveling to Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair. Publication isn't until July of 2022, but, how thrilling it's in the works.
I think it's possible I've never read a book by local author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Even so, he gave an interesting list of books to his nurse while convalescing.
