Product Information

Enter Iris Adams, Alice’s tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesn’t have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brooke’s grandmother is offering to anyone who can share information about her granddaughter’s whereabouts. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit, but Alice isn’t so sure, and with Iris on her side, she just might be able to prove her theory.

A propulsive mystery starring two unlikely friends who give Nancy Drew a run for her money. With a totally satisfying and surprising ending, The Agathas is so, so much fun.”—Jessica Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of They’ll Never Catch Us and They Wish They Were Us Liz Lawson Thanks so much for the question. These kids who experience school shootings are normally just left behind / forgotten by the media once the hype died …more Thanks so much for the question. These kids who experience school shootings are normally just left behind / forgotten by the media once the hype died down, and they're left with the gaping hole in their lives. I felt that exploring that was vitally important, and I hope my book helps some of those kids. It means that if you think failing out of school to be a detective is a smart thing to do, you are even more naive than I thought.”

Reviews

Everyone believes that Salil Singh killed his girlfriend, Andrea Bell, five years ago—except Pippa Fitz-Amobi. It’s really not fantastic. It’s more exactly what my parents do: buy me something—something I cannot stand—because it’s expensive.” The mystery thrills and gratifies thanks to escalating stakes and devastating reveals.“— Publishers Weekly Tuesday, 5/30 at 6pm - Barnes and Noble - conversation between co-authors Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson

THE AGATHAS | Kirkus Reviews

The dangerous city of Ketterdam is governed by the Merchant Council, but in reality, large sectors of the city are given over to gangs who run the gambling dens and brothels. The underworld's rising star is 17-year-old Kaz Brekker, known as Dirtyhands for his brutal amorality. Kaz walks with chronic pain from an old injury, but that doesn't stop him from utterly destroying any rivals. When a councilman offers him an unimaginable reward to rescue a kidnapped foreign chemist—30 million kruge!—Kaz knows just the team he needs to assemble. There's Inej, an itinerant acrobat captured by slavers and sold to a brothel, now a spy for Kaz; the Grisha Nina, with the magical ability to calm and heal; Matthias the zealot, hunter of Grishas and caught in a hopeless spiral of love and vengeance with Nina; Wylan, the privileged boy with an engineer's skills; and Jesper, a sharpshooter who keeps flirting with Wylan. Bardugo broadens the universe she created in the Grisha Trilogy, sending her protagonists around countries that resemble post-Renaissance northern Europe, where technology develops in concert with the magic that's both coveted and despised. It’s a highly successful venture, leaving enough open questions to cause readers to eagerly await Volume 2. An English writer known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections. Also known as the bestselling author of all time. Also, one bad bitch.”Full of twists, mysteries, and so much heart, The Agathas will keep you up late guessing who-exactly-dunit. Perfect for readers who like their thrillers with an extra dose of fun!”—Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows The Castle Cove Police Department thinks it’s an open-and-shut case, but Alice and Iris are sure it can’t be that simple. Park isn’t a murderer—and the girls know all too well that in life, and in mysteries, things are rarely what they appear to be. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look to the past. Adolescent criminals seek the haul of a lifetime in a fantasyland at the beginning of its industrial age. But now they have a murder to solve. There are clues the police are ignoring, a list of suspects a mile long and some very dangerous cliffs.
