#1 New York Times bestseller! The critically lauded, wickedly smart whodunit with a "
Knives Out feel by way of Lemony Snicket," now in paperback.
On the day they are born, every Swift child is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name, and a definition. A definition it is assumed they will grow up to match.
Meet Shenanigan Swift: Little sister. Risk-taker. Mischief-maker. Shenanigan is getting ready for the big Swift Family Reunion and plotting her next great scheme: hunting for Grand-Uncle Vile's long-lost treasure. She's excited to finally meet her arriving relatives--until one of them gives Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude a deadly shove down the stairs.
So what if everyone thinks she'll never be more than a troublemaker, just because of her name? Shenanigan knows she can become whatever she wants, even a detective. And she's determined to follow the twisty clues and catch the killer.
Deliciously suspenseful and delightfully clever,
The Swifts is a remarkable debut that is both brilliantly contemporary and instantly classic. A celebration of words and individuality, it's packed with games, wordplay, and lots and lots of mischief as Shenanigan sets out to save her family and define herself in a world where definitions are so important.
Sobre o autor(a)
Lincoln, Beth
BETH LINCOLN nasceu na Inglaterra, não era alta, nem sábia e nunca aprendeu a tocar um instrumento – mas escrevia histórias, um belo hábito que cultiva até hoje. Quando não está escrevendo, passa o tempo esculpindo em madeira, bagunçando seu apartamento ou conversando com alguém sobre coisas inexplicáveis. Adora fantasmas e batata frita. Os Swifts é o primeiro livro de uma série, que surgiu de seu amor pela etimologia, romance gótico e clássicos de mistério. |
