Synopsis

While Augusta Hawke is a successful author of eighteen crime novels, since her husband's death, she's been living vicariously through her Jules Maigret-like detective Claude and his assistant Caroline. Then a handsome police detective appears investigating a real-life mystery. Where are her neighbors, the Normans? No one has a clue what's happened—except Augusta. Although she isn't nosy, spending all day staring out the windows for inspiration means she does notice things. Like the Normans arguing. And that they've been missing a week. Once the Normans' car is found abandoned, Augusta senses material for a bestseller and calls on the investigatory skills she's developed as a crime writer. But she soon uncovers long-hidden secrets and finds herself facing real-life dangers her characters never faced . . . ones she can't write her way out of.

When the neighbors of Augusta Hawke, a successful cozy mystery writer, vanish, she can’t resist looking into this true crime. How glad I am to know that Augusta Hawke is the debut in a new series because I can’t get enough of Hawke’s acerbic wit. I adore author G.M. Malliet’s Max Tudor series and I......more

Goodreads review by Judy on June 27, 2022

Augusta Hawke is the first title in what will most likely become a series written by G. M. Malliet. Augusta is a widow living on the outskirts of Washington, D.

Goodreads review by Larry on October 20, 2022

Although this novel is a small book, it took me ages to finish. I've read only a few GM Malliet books and generally liked them. This is the first book in a new series, and I did not really enjoy it. It had some interesting characters, a good plot and the obligatory twist at the end. But I found the......more
