The Swifts take Manhattan in the hilarious, third installment of Beth Lincoln’s quick-witted bestselling mystery series.
After catching a murderer at the family reunion and solving a century-old art caper, the Swift children have built a reputation as expert sleuths. But when cousin Atrocious needs help to solve a murder in New York City, Shenanigan is wary until she finds out the victim is connected to their old friend Daisy DeMille and her family's flower empire. Trapped by a snowstorm in the DeMille's high-rise greenhouse headquarters, Shenanigan will have to weed out the poisoner hiding among the plants.
For their new adventure, Shenanigan and the beloved Swifts are joined by another eccentric, and fabulously fatal, family—the American DeMilles, including flamboyant heir-apparent Dandelion, ambitious brother Basil, and tenacious siblings Moss and Delphinium. The Swifts are back with their trademark witty wordplay, murder mysteries, and, of course, shenanigans.
Beth Lincoln is the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Swifts series, which was inspired by her love of etymology, the gleeful gothic, and classic murder mysteries. Her debut novel, The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels was the winner of the Barnes & Noble Children’s & YA Book Award and the Nero Book Award for Children’s Fiction.
Raised in a former Victorian railway station in the North of England, Beth’s childhood fears included porcelain dolls, the Durham panther, and wardrobes that looked at her funny. She grew neither tall nor wise, and never learned to play an instrument—but she did write stories, a bad habit that has persisted to this day. When she isn’t writing, Beth is woodcarving, or making a mess of her flat, or talking the nearest ear off about unexplained occurrences. Her favorite things include ghosts, crisps, and weird old words like bumbershoot and zounderkite.
She lives in Newcastle upon Tyne with her partner and hopefully, by the time you are reading this, a dog.
