Maggie Hope A Best Seller

The strategy of introducing a new author in less-expensive trade paperback, rather than hardcover, has paid off for the Maggie Hope series about a British code breaker in WW II. The third novel, His Majesty’s Hope, (RH/Bantam; BOT Audio) hits the NYT best seller list at #18 (tied with #17) this week.

The author, Susan Elia MacNeal was nominated for an Edgar for Best First Novel by an American, with the first in the series, Mr. Churchill’s Secretary. The second, Princess Elizabeth’s Spy was selected by Oprah.com as one of seven “Compulsively Readable Mysteries (for the Crazy-Smart Reader).”
