If you're reading this, then I'm dead. And no, it wasn't an accident.
Welcome to a world of Nominative Determinism, where Names define you.
In fog choked Murkmire Manor, cryptic instructions from beyond the grave pull Rea List into a mystery tangled in inheritance, old grudges, and two Families who specialize in making things worse. As secrets surface and Names refuse to behave,
it becomes clear that everyone has something to hide, and nothing is as simple as it sounds. Especially the lemon marmalade.
Enjoy a cozy, gore free mystery with light fantasy elements, sharp humor, and a fondness for wordplay, riddles, and the
occasional anagram that may-or may not-matter more than it should. Perfect for readers who like clever puzzles,
eccentric characters, and mysteries that unfold with wit rather than blood.
Frogs & Fog: A Murkmire Mystery will appeal to readers who enjoy the linguistic playfulness and reality-bending logic
of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next, the clever inheritance puzzles and name-driven intrigue of Ellen Raskin's
The Westing Game, and the eccentric institutions and dry humor found in Diana Wynne Jones's adult fantasy,
such as Deep Secret. Fans of cozy mysteries like Alan Bradley's The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie will
appreciate its gore-free approach, sharp wit, and emphasis on character, wordplay, and layered secrets rather than violence.
