For a temporary reprieve from the summer heat, how about cozying up with a cozy mystery by John Banville (also known in the crime fiction world as Benjamin Black)? The incomparable Booker Prize winner’s next great crime novel, SNOW [Oct. 6, Hanover Square Press] is the story of an aristocratic family whose secrets resurface when a parish priest is found murdered in their home. Snow is a classic procedural mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie.

A starred review from Booklist calls Snow “a deceptively complex mystery with literary flourishes” and “a brilliant mix of old tropes and sadly modern evil.”⭐
