'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about. I used to do this in the past and am making it a priority to do again. Seriously, who among us doesn't have a book or two or twenty that we are excited about reading? Plus, it lets us 'spread the word' about authors and series that we personally enjoy.
This week I'm highlighting the second book in the 'Holmes, Marple, & Poe' series. I read the first book in the series last year and talked about it here. I shared that while I thought the book was fast paced and interesting, I had a bit of hard time with the 'update' of the three famous characters. Wasn't sure if my love for the original 'Marple' had affected my thoughts (note: likely, yes, likely). Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I learned that 'Holmes, Marple & Poe' would be our mystery book group's selection for this coming April. I then determined that I would reread the first book and also noticed that the sequel would be published in January. Seemed like a good sign. Here's the scoop on the new book:
by James Patterson and Brian Sitts
Publication Date: January 6th
Success has come quickly to Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. The New York City agency led by three detectives—Brendan Holmes, “the brain,” Margaret Marple, “the eyes,” and Auguste Poe, the “muscle”—with famous names and mysterious pasts is one major case away from cementing its professional reputation.
But as a series of child abductions tests the PIs’ legendary skills, the cerebral Holmes’s absence leaves a gaping hole in the agency roster.
Only by closing ranks and solving the mystery within can they recover all that’s been lost.
