Synopsis

Pages Gone By is more than just Erin, Ohio's only used book store. It's also a favorite meeting place for writers and readers. And early one morning, it becomes the scene of a murder when a body is found in the romance section. Is the steamy novel, Love's Dark Secret, clutched in the victim's hand a clue to the killer? Or is it more significant that the murder weapon was a statue of the iconic Maltese Falcon of film noir fame? As polymath mystery writer Sebastian McCabe and sardonic sidekick Jeff Cody try to unmask the murderer of a friend, they get more help than they need from a talk show psychologist and a group of would-be mystery writers with more imagination than deductive skills. But only they know that one suspect has big secrets to hide - secrets that Mac and Jeff hope don't have to be revealed. An homage to the Golden Age of detective fiction, the witty and suspense Bookmarked for Murder once again shows why novelist and screenwriter Bonnie MacBird called Dan Andriacco "a master of mystery plotting."

Revue de presse

Bookmarked for Murder is a real cracker. Not that I expected less! I love a good fair-play detective story, a mystery that baffles so that I'm desperate to know the solution and the solution when it s explained is both surprising and satisfying. Dan Andriacco gives us that, but he goes one better. I read on, not just because I want to know who killed the proprietor of the only used-book store in Erin, Ohio (bashed over the head with a replica of the Maltese Falcon), who has been peddling drugs to the athletes at St Benignus College, and who has been posting controversial footage of a history professor on YouTube. I read on because I like the sharp-witted, humane narrator, Jeff Cody, and his brother-in-law, Professor Sebastian McCabe magician, detective-story writer, and formidable amateur sleuth. If Cody is Watson, McCabe is perhaps less Sherlock Holmes than a sort of sociable Mycroft. This is excellent, intelligent entertainment. --The Sherlock Holmes Society of London
