The PostScript Murders
by Elly Griffiths
In the days immediately following my mother’s death, I couldn’t pick up a book. I was too…everything. Sad, angry, shocked, unfocused, just all the things. I finally decided to try to read the second book in the Harbinder Kaur series. I read – and loved – the first one in the fall, thanks to Cincy Bus Book Club. It turned out that a cozy British murder mystery (yes, murder mysteries can be cozy!) was exactly what I needed.
Benedict, Natalka, & Edwin are a motley crew of misfits that end up taking on the role of amateur detectives to help Harbinder Kaur solve the murder of an old woman who helped authors think up murder mysteries. When she is found dead in her home and some of the authors who benefitted from her help start getting murdered, her friends and Harbinder start asking questions.
Just like the first in the series, I did not guess the outcome of this murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride that Griffiths created, especially the creative use of books and the art of reading. This novel was plot-driven, escapist, easy to read, and captivating — exactly what I needed as we laid my mother to rest. It was a wonderful companion during the most difficult week of my life.
The third in the series is slated to be released in late 2022, and I am eagerly waiting for it.
