💎 Aug: TO CATCH A THIEF by David Dodge (1952)

Our Read Herring Book Club pick for August!

LET’S DISCUSS:

1. Were you rooting for John Robie? What makes him a good hero, even though he is technically a criminal?

2. What did you think about Francie? Would John have succeeded without her?

3. Did you suspect anyone of being the copycat Le Chat? Who?

4. If you’ve seen the movie: Did you like it more, or less, than the book? What changes between the two strengthen or weaken the story?

COVER REVEAL 🌙🗽

I am thrilled to help reveal the cover of THE MOONLIGHT DETECTIVE, the sequel to a cozy mystery I really enjoyed earlier this year—THE MIDNIGHT TAXI. 🚕

(Which you should read if you like NYC, underdog detectives, South Asian rep, strong themes of justice, and an ultimately heartwarming story.)

Yosha Gunasekera Berkley Publishing Group

🍎 BLURB:

When a disgraced journalist is accused of murdering a Manhattan socialite, cab driver Siriwathi Perera is drawn into the shadows of the city to uncover the truth in this twisty new mystery by Yosha Gunasekera.

Working as both a cab driver and a part-time investigator, Siri encounters the best and worst of what New York City has to offer while dodging traffic and digging into her clients’ cases. It has made her mostly unflappable—until she dives into her newest case that she and public defender Amaya Fernando are working together. Her client, Lucy Chapman, a once-promising writer, has been accused of stalking Addison Larsen, a Manhattan socialite. What at first seems like a run-of-the mill case turns deadly when Lucy becomes the prime suspect in Addison’s murder.

With just days until Lucy’s indictment, Siri and Amaya race to chase leads. As they dig deeper into not only Addison’s messy past, but also the city’s, they’re pulled into the hidden world beneath Manhattan, uncovering forgotten tunnels, abandoned subway stations, and buried secrets that stretch back hundreds of years.

As they hunt for answers, Siri finds herself questioning who she can trust, what justice really means, and whether she’s ready to stop running from the life she’d always thought was out of reach.

OUT MAY 4, 2027!!
