It’s time for another roundup of things mystery fans should have on their radar.
Amazon MGM Gets Creative Control Of Bond
This can’t be good for Bond fans: “Amazon MGM Studios is set to take creative control of the James Bond franchise.”
More Adaptation News
Candice Fox’s High Wire (which I think so far is only published in Australia) is in development to be a series at Apple TV+. The book, a crime thriller, follows Harvey Buck as he races across the Australian outback to see his dying girlfriend. Being a crime novel, though, things take a turn after he picks up Clare Holland, whose car broke down. Both are ambushed, strapped with bombs, and forced to follow dangerous missions or have their bombs detonated. So, not a cozy mystery.

Upcoming Book To Know
Angeline Boulley, the author of Firekeeper’s Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed, has a new upcoming book coming out and People magazine got all the deets. Sisters in the Wind will publish in September and “is a coming-of-age tale about struggle, secrets and survival.” It not only sounds like a mystery perfect for fans of her previous work, but as a bonus, she teased the book has Easter eggs for Firekeeper’s Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed!

Tariffs And Your Book Prices
How Tariffs Will Impact Book Costs for Readers: “Tariffs will impact book lovers. Though there is a temporary suspension on said tariffs for goods coming to the US from Canada or Mexico, the 10% tariff on Chinese imports has gone into effect. This means that it is really likely the price of books will begin to slide upward.”
