Praise
Praise for Agnes Sharp and the Trip of a Lifetime
“This delightful mix of mystery, humor, and elderly shenanigans reminiscent of The Thursday Murder Club makes for a thoroughly engaging read, blending cozy mystery vibes with the unexpected shivers of a thriller.”
—G.M. Malliet, Agatha Award–winning author of the Max Tudor series
Praise for The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp
A Washington Post Best Mystery Novel of 2023
A New York Times Editors’ Choice
“The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp, translated from the German by Amy Bojang, operates in its own skewed universe. Fans of the Thursday Murder Club books will find much to like here.”
—Sarah Weinman, The New York Times
“Swann’s mystery is different, delightful and deep.”
—The Washington Post
“The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp may appear to be a cozy about some nutty old crime-solving dears with a pet tortoise, but it has pointy teeth, like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood.”
—Air Mail
“A mystery like a gingerbread house, rich and warm and sweet and dark. Fans of Richard Osman’s superannuated detectives, welcome to your new club; readers who fell in love with The Maid by Nita Prose, rejoice. This is a splendid, life-affirming book, funny and clever, suspenseful and touching. And like all good novels, it features a tortoise.”
—A.J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“A deliriously clever plot with warmly drawn characters, dollops of tension and dark secrets. Brilliant!”
—Helene Tursten, bestselling author of An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good
“Swann creates a world so witty and playful that readers may need to keep reminding themselves that there really is a murderer out there, or in here. An antic, moving celebration of life’s final chapters.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Swann wittily conveys the infirmities of old age—memory lapses, vision impairment, hearing problems—alongside her characters’ flashes of insight and pluck . . . cozy readers will gladly return to Sunset Hall for future installments.”
—Publishers Weekly
