Holmes, Marple & Poe — James Patterson

Holmes, Marple & Poe is a mystery thriller novel by bestselling authors James Patterson and Brian Sitts, published by Little, Brown and Company (Hachette Book Group). This Costco edition is the audio CD format distributed by Hachette Book Group Audio (HGB). The book was released on January 8, 2024, and marks the first entry in the Holmes, Margaret & Poe series.

In New York City, three enigmatic private investigators open Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. Brendan Holmes—The Brain—identifies suspects through deduction and logic. Margaret Marple—The Eyes—possesses powers of observation too often underestimated. Auguste Poe—The Muscle—chases down every lead no matter how dangerous or dark. The trio's daring methodology and headline-making case solves attract the attention of NYPD Detective Helene Grey, who launches a solo investigation to unmask her three mysterious competitors. Her pursuit rivals the best mysteries of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Praised by Publishers Weekly as a "breezy thriller" in which "Patterson and Sitts have fun playing with reader expectations," the novel blends classic detective archetypes into a contemporary New York setting full of crime and corruption. The series continues with a sequel also available from Hachette Book Group.
