SUMMARY:Marble Hall Murders by Anthony Horowitz | PBS Books Readers Club
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books Readers Club welcomes bestselling mystery author Anthony Horowitz to discuss his latest novel and the PBS Masterpiece series Marble Hall Murders. The episode premieres October 29 at 8 PM ET as a PBS Books Facebook Live event and will also be available on the PBS Books YouTube channel\, pbsbooks.org\, and the PBS app. \nGet the Book\nNothing Found \nShop through our Bookshop.org or Libro.fm affiliate links and a portion of your purchase helps PBS Books continue to create original content you love. \nMarble Hall Murders is the third and final novel in Anthony Horowitz’s Magpie Murders series\, which follows book editor Susan Ryeland and detective Atticus Pünd in a mind-bending mystery that links the past and present. \nIn Marble Hall Murders\, Susan Ryeland is back in London\, working as a freelance editor when she is assigned the last job she wants: another Atticus Pünd novel. Even worse\, the continuation is written by Elliot Crace\, a troubled young author who also happens to be the grandson of legendary children’s author Miriam Crace. \nAs Susan reads the manuscript\, Pünd’s Last Case\, she begins to uncover startling connections between Lady Margaret Chalfont and her extended family and the Crace family. When both women appear to have been poisoned\, Susan realizes the manuscript may hold the clues to a real-life murder. As she follows the trail Elliot has concealed within his story\, Susan once again finds herself in grave danger. And when another murder occurs\, she becomes the number-one suspect. \nIf Susan can’t crack the case\, she could end up behind bars — or become the next victim. \nPart of what keeps Horowitz’s mysteries so unpredictable is his approach to the characters themselves. Rather than relying on familiar archetypes\, he creates characters with unexpected quirks\, contradictions\, and personalities that feel true to life — keeping readers guessing about who they can trust and what they might do next. \nAs Horowitz explains: “Even Agatha Christie\, whom I worship\, tended to stick to the same sort of cast of characters. I try to avoid that as much as I can to make the characters a little bit different\, a little bit more quirky. That’s the most important thing for me— to make them believable\, to make them true.” \nMarble Hall Murders is a brilliantly constructed dual-plot murder mystery that might just be Horowitz’s most extensive and intricately plotted book in the series. With characters readers have grown to love and new characters who leave us with trust issues\, it’s quite possibly Horowitz’s best book in the series. \nThis episode is brought to you in part by Libro.fm. Libro.fm shares profits from your audiobook purchases with your chosen bookstore\, partnering with more than 4\,000 stores around the world. \nPBS Watch-Alike: Marble Hall Murders on Masterpiece MysteriesAnthony Horowitz’s mystery series returns to the screen this September with Marble Hall Murders\, starring Lesley Manville as Susan Ryeland and Tim McMullan as Atticus Pünd.

SUMMARY:Barbara Kingsolver LIVE: A Virtual Book Club Event
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning author Barbara Kingsolver for an exclusive live discussion about her brand-new novel Partita— a book she says she has been waiting her whole life to write. \nThis interactive virtual book club event will take place on November 5\, 2026\,at 8PM ET. Registration is available with a qualifying donation of $150 or more. Along with access to the virtual event\, donors will receive a copy of the book\, Partita\, and the PBS Books mug. \nGet Your Ticket + Book + Mug\nNothing Found \nPartita\, on sale October 6th\, is a deeply moving novel about art\, music\, class\, memory\, and the life-altering power of love. \nLivia Cable has made her peace with her marriage and modest livelihood in the farm country where she grew up\, until a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. Decades earlier\, this man knew her as Livia Bohusz\, a music conservatory student estranged from her home and family\, uncertain of anything except her passion for music and her promise as an extraordinary pianist. His request\, now\, to see her again stirs up ghosts she has kept at bay for a lifetime. \nWith razor-sharp acuity\, Kingsolver’s new novel Partita reflects on class barriers\, the risks of ambition\, and the timeless\, life-changing powers of art. Told in movements that mirror a Bach partita\, the novel unfolds with the precision and emotional power of music itself: each section building on the last\, each theme returning transformed. \nKingsolver reflects\, “This novel started small. It would be about a young musician\, I thought; a little love story. But it kept expanding as I wrote\, opening and closing around itself like a set of nested boxes. Partita is a story of a brief\, passionate\, life-changing affair\, contained inside a bigger love story\, all wrapped up in what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty.” \nDuring this live virtual event moderated by PBS Books hosts Lauren Smith and Fred Nahhat\, we’ll explore the origins of Kingsolver’s new novel\, reflect on her remarkable career as an author\, and revisit highlights from some of her bestselling works. Audience members will also have the opportunity to interact in a lively book club chat and submit their own questions for Barbara Kingsolver. \nRegister Here
