Etiquette for Lovers and Killers

De: Anna Fitzgerald Healy

Narrado por: Mia Hutchinson-Shaw

"An Agatha Christie mystery wrapped up in an Emily Henry romance." —Maine Public Radio, Northeast Corner

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

What are the chances of receiving a love letter and an engagement ring for a perfect stranger, only to see that same woman murdered the very next day?

It’s 1964 in the tiny town of Eastport, Maine, and Billie McCadie is bored to death. She’s surrounded by dull people with more manners than sense, and no sign of the intrigue or romance that fill her beloved novels. That is, until an engagement ring and cryptic love letter turn up, addressed to "Gertrude." Until she meets yacht-club handsome Avery Webster. Until the unsettling phone calls and visits from a man in a fedora begin. Until she's one of the last people to see Gertrude alive . . . and the first to see her dead.

What follows is an intoxicating cocktail of stalking, blackmail, Jell-O salads, and champagne secrets, all served along the rocky Maine coastline. Everyone is a suspect. Everyone has a secret. And (strangely) everyone has a boat. But who is willing to kiss and tell? As the body count rises and the danger nears, why does Billie feel like she’s more than just a side character? After yearning to be in the action for so long, would it be terribly unladylike to have some fun of her own?

A love letter to uncivilized behavior, Etiquette for Lovers and Killers blends mystery and romance into a witty, twisty, murderous delight that aches for better manners.

One of GoodReads’ Most Anticipated Books of July

One of Shelf Awareness’ Best Books of the Week

"[A] delightfully charming page-turner with plenty of banter, bite and big characters. Anna Fitzgerald Healy neatly combines a swoony romance with a nicely paced mystery. . . The cast fairly swaggered off the page. The ending leaves me wondering if we’ve seen the last of Billie McCadie." —Historical Novels Review

"Utterly delightful and crackling with wit, I could not put this down! Think 1960s Gilmore Girls with a good dose of murder and a dash of romance. Billie McCadie is the kind of character you’ll love spending time with, and the ups and downs her investigating murder in the upper echelons of Eastport Maine have all the hallmarks of the perfect murder mystery: fantastic setting, characters with layers of secrets, and some fabulous twists and turns." —Kristen Perrin, New York Times bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder

"Etiquette for Lovers and Killers is an alluring and impressive debut. Anna Fitzgerald Healy brings a powerful new voice to the genre, seamlessly marrying polished prose and razor-sharp wit with snappy banter and a crackling romance. I was completely swept away." —Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
