Tana French “Fortune Favors The Dead takes gritty 40s noir, shakes it up, gives it a charming twist, and serves it up with unforgettable style. My new favorite sleuthing duo are Pentecost and Parker, the spiritual sisters of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. An utterly brilliant debut!” - Deanna Raybourn “Spotswood’s stellar debut puts a modern spin on classic hard-boiled fiction. . . The deep and sensitive characterization of the two protagonists, coupled with rich description and tonally spot-on humor, make this a novel to remember. Spotswood is definitely a writer to watch.” –Publishers Weekly “Witty. . . Humorous and fun [with] all the hallmarks of an Agatha Christie mystery, and there’s a delightful dose of noir thrown in for the more hardcore pulp fiction crowd, too. . . As mysterious and fun a caper as you will ever read, with plenty of misdirection and intrigue to keep you guessing. You don’t need a clairvoyant to realize this duo will be around for years to come.” - BookPage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f285a452cad4c7cedf571a0/1605189511714-J67ZTVHBHF0IYA6TZ8Z9/fftd+uk+cover.jpg Fortune Favors The Dead Click HERE to find where you can purchase the UK edition https://www.stephenspotswood.com/murder-under-her-skin daily 0.75 2021-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f285a452cad4c7cedf571a0/1617112283790-V4Q6RMJT1XZ5WNU4Q18X/Murder+Under+Her+Skin+revised+final.jpg Murder Under Her Skin Chosen as one of The Best Mystery Novels of 2021 by The New York Times “A delight. . . It’s a pleasure to watch [Pentecost and Parker] sifting through red herrings and peeling secrets back like layers of an onion, all while revealing even more of themselves without guilt or shame. Just like his mystery-writing ancestor [Rex Stout], Spotswood understands that the detective story should be sound, but spending time with unforgettable characters is paramount.” - Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review "Just as vibrant and compelling as [Fortune Favors the Dead]. . . The best things about this novel/series are Spotswood’s clever prose and dialogue, which so perfectly calls to mind the time period and the very colorful characters he’s crafted. . . Spotswood is quickly climbing the ranks of my favorite current authors, securing himself a spot on my instant-order list, and his Pentecost and Parker mysteries are a solid recommendation to any fans of historical fiction, lady investigators, or mysteries centered around queer characters." - Criminal Element Review "Spotswood’s ability to subvert genre tropes with intriguing and distinctive characters… make this whodunit a delightfully unusual read. Readers will look forward to Pentecost and Parker’s further adventures."—Publishers Weekly https://www.stephenspotswood.com/murder-under-her-skin-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f285a452cad4c7cedf571a0/b91da4ed-c460-4e50-8e7c-29af0e07a28e/9780385549264+%283%29.jpg Secrets Typed In Blood Nominated for the 2023 Sue Grafton Memorial Edgar Award “Spotswood plays fair with readers in a complex plot offering plenty of vivid characters, clever dialogue, and plausible suspects. Pentecost and Parker are a great crime-fighting partnership whose popularity is bound to increase.” - Publisher’s Weekly “Secrets Typed in Blood” reads as easy as fine whiskey goes down. Even when I guessed a plot twist, surprises awaited a few pages later. Mostly I was keen to spend time in Pentecost and Parker’s company. I urge every mystery lover to get acquainted with them.” - Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review https://www.stephenspotswood.com/murder-under-her-skin-1-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f285a452cad4c7cedf571a0/cb3f78f6-c5f6-4a56-930e-2f4c6f1eb545/Murder+Crossed+Her+Mind+cover+with+border.jpg Murder Crossed Her Mind https://www.stephenspotswood.com/dead-in-the-frame daily 0.75 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f285a452cad4c7cedf571a0/26ecc56c-0ccc-4cdb-9e90-245f65816c48/deadintheframe-feb6.jpg Dead In The Frame https://www.stephenspotswood.com/pentecost-and-parker-shorts daily 0.75 2025-09-17
