And Then They Were Doomed

fullDescription

Zoe Zola is one of ten invitees to an Agatha Christie symposium. Tempers flare...and then there are nine. Can Jenny Weston save Zoe from murder on the Upper Peninsula?
Little Person author Zoe Zola believes that one of the unluckiest things in life is to receive an invitation—in the form of a letter edged in black—to an Agatha Christie symposium at an old Upper Peninsula hunting lodge. Her reluctance dissipates when she learns that the organizer is named Emily Brent—the name of a character poisoned by cyanide in Christie’s And Then There Were None.
As a dreary rain soaks the U.P., Zoe and nine other Christie scholars—each of whom bears a vague resemblance to one of the classic mystery novel’s characters—arrive at the lodge. At the opening night dinner, arguments flare over the experts’ discordant theories about Christie. Next morning, the guests find one particularly odious man has gone—whereabouts and reasons unknown. Such a coincidental resemblance to a work of fiction is surely impossible; therefore, it appears to be possible.
As the guests disappear, one by one, Zoe resolves to beat a hasty retreat—but her car won't start. She calls her friend, amateur sleuth/little librarian Jenny Weston, but Jenny will have to wait out a storm off Lake Superior before she can come to the rescue. If Zoe’s to stay alive to greet Jenny when she eventually arrives, she’ll have to draw on everything she knows about Agatha Christie’s devilish plots in Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli’s fourth tantalizing Little Library mystery.

     July 1, 2019
     A macabre celebration gives a successful author time to deal with her family's mysterious past. Growing up in Detroit, Zoe Zola, a little person, endured a lifetime's worth of ridicule, but when her mother died, she moved to Bear Falls in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, where she's made friends and gained a reputation as a sleuth whose cases (In Want of a Knife, 2018, etc.) all involve the works of famous authors. For many years, her mother, Evelyn, received black-edged envelopes in the mail, one of which may have precipitated her death. Evelyn's family, the Jokelas, rejected both her and Zoe, who was born out of wedlock. Now Zoe's received an envelope of her own from the Northern Michigan Agatha Christie Society, inviting her to a seminar at a lodge in the Upper Peninsula. Luckily, her friend Jenny is willing to take her along while she visits her sister, Lisa, who's filming a documentary on a group of Finnish women living in the area. Zoe's invitation is signed by Emily Brent, a character in And Then There Were None, and despite a suspicion that the whole event has been arranged just for her, Zoe agrees to go. After a long ride over partially flooded roads, they arrive at Netherworld Lodge, where Jenny leaves Zoe to her fate. The lodge has seen better days, but the food is excellent. Not so the other participants--college professors, editors, graduate students--all of whom seem a bit odd. Each of them is presenting his or her take on Agatha Christie and her works in a webinar, and each one is aware Christie is the subject of Zoe's planned book. As some of them begin to disappear overnight, just as in Christie's famous novel, Zoe becomes both fearful and determined to unravel the puzzle in a bid to understand why her family's shunned her. A dark, creepy, character-driven thriller with a particularly devious plot.

      Buzzelli’s entertaining fourth Little Library mystery featuring literary biographer Zoe Zola (after 2018’s In Want of a Knife) finds Zoe at home in the small town of Bear Falls, Mich., working on her new book, Inside the Murderous Mind of Agatha Christie, when she receives an invitation from the Northern Michigan Christie Society to participate in a meeting and webinar. She agrees to attend, but soon after arriving at Netherworld Lodge, nothing is as it seems. When two of the 10 participants disappear, Zoe begins to suspect that life is imitating art, in this case Christie’s And Then There Were None. Cut off by torrential rains and with limited cell phone coverage, Zoe brings all her skills at anagrams and word puzzles, as well as her encyclopedic knowledge of Christie, to bear on the mystery, all the while aware that she may be the next target in a devious game of murder. This entry is good fun for both Christie and puzzle fans. Agent: Jessica Faust, BookEnds.
