Bellamy Rose has never solved an actual murder. When she’s not writing about them, she spends her time trying to taste every cuisine in the world, befriending all the animals she meets, and publishing non-murdery rom-coms as the USA Today bestselling author Amanda Elliot. She lives with her husband and daughter in New York City.
Roses's new novel is Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder.

Royal Blood by Aimée CarterRead about the other entries on the list.
This absolutely delightful young adult mystery follows Evan, the illegitimate daughter of the king of England left reeling when her identity is suddenly revealed in the press. The press turns even more bloodthirsty when she becomes the primary suspect in a murder investigation. The only way to clear her name and regain a shred of normalcy is for Evan to team up with a hot royal insider and find the real killer. I loved this book not just for its fun fusion of romance and mystery but for its inclusion of family drama – Evan has a lot of (understandably) complicated feelings toward her father the king, her stepmother the queen, and her half-sister the crown princess, and watching those feelings change and evolve over the book was incredibly rewarding.
