Praise For This Book |
"With Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore, Matthew Sullivan has written-with great panache and suspense-a smart, twisty crime novel filled with compelling characters set in a world that book-lovers will adore."-Jess Walter, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins "This book ticked all the boxes for me: an engaging heroine, an intriguing premise, interesting characters and a plot that involved books, readers and the very darkest human passions. A fantastic, assured debut."-Elly Griffiths, author of The Crossing Places "There is a clever, erudite puzzle plot in this bookish mystery, along with whipsmart writing. Matthew Sullivan's debut is stylish and entertaining."-Ellen Crosby, author of The Champagne Conspiracy "An intriguingly dark, twisty story and eccentric characters make this book a standout."Kirkus Reviews "Quirky characters and a keen sense of place distinguish this multigenerational tale of abandonment, desperation, and betrayal . . . inventive and intricately plotted." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "This quirky debut novel will have particular appeal for puzzle solvers and booklovers." -Booklist "Though darker than other beloved novels set in bookstores, this story will appeal to fans of Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. Mystery readers will also appreciate the clever connections between the characters and the crimes." -Library Journal "Personally, I couldn't resist Matthew Sullivan's Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore, an appealing first novel....The oddball characters and layered plot make this puzzle mystery both charming and challenging." -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review |
