Locked-Room Mysteries – Fiction

In Clémence Michallon’s Our Last Resort: A Novel, Frida and Gabriel have grown apart in recent years after a sudden, unspeakable tragedy, and search for a fresh start at the Ara Hotel in the secluded desert of Escalante, Utah. It all feels like paradise – until a beautiful young woman is murdered, Gabriel is named a suspect, and even Frida can’t ignore the evidence mounting against him. In Dwyer Murphy’s The House on Buzzards Bay: A Novel, Jim and his closest college friends – now rushing into midlife – get together to rekindle their bonds in his family’s generations-old vacation home. But the quiet seaside retreat takes a dark turn when Bruce, a successful writer, disappears without a trace and a series of mysterious break-ins besets the town.
