Detectives of Autumn House may be a novella but it is packed with some much excitement that it will feel like a full length book.

Detectives of Autumn House written by Manjima Misra follows the members of the Detectives of Autumn House as they follow a mysterious case of missing authors.  The Detectives, five females, case is about struggling authors who are approached by an elderly gentlemen offering them a lot of money in exchange for the property rights of their books and allowing him to publish their books under his name.  Then they seem to vanish and their books end up in a bookstore named Sherlock House where they are now under the name of Deliski as the author.

Misra knows how to capture the reades attention and keep hold of it throughout the entire story.  Readers will have no trouble reading this book in one sitting, if that is what they choose to do.  You can, however, read it slowly ... if you have that willpower.  I believe it will be hard to stop once you have begun reading it.
