From Portland Book Review: "This is not a typical murder mystery novel. Yes, there is a murder and detectives who are trying to solve the case, but the murder is superfluous to the point of the novel. The Self-Improvement Book Club Murder is the first novel written by Todd Wright, a lawyer and retired naval officer who has taken an interest in the Self-Improvement genre. The compendium of the Self-Improvement Philosophy and its history is exposed to the reader through the entertaining medium of a murder mystery. For students of philosophy who typically fall asleep within three minutes of opening a text book, this novel is the remedy. "Two detectives, Bookman and Berg (names inspired by the 1990s television show Seinfeld) attempt to solve the murder of a woman who happens to be a member of a Self-Improvement Book Club. The book club is unique because none of the members will read each other's contributions to the club. Each character is thereafter defined by the Book they have obsessed over presenting to the club. The two detectives attempting to solve the case represent the variety of perspectives non-initiates might have. One detective is a middle aged man, strong in his religious faith who approaches this knowledge with a jaundiced, disbelieving eye. The other one is a younger man, eagerly searching for answers to his life's failings. As the detectives question witnesses, delve into the life of the victim and interact with each other, they clarify not only the case but the nature of reality. Bookman and Berg come away from the case irreparably changed by having gained this new knowledge. Whether you are an avid reader of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance or new to these types of books, you will be riveted to the story for one reason or another. And soon you may be introducing this book to a book club of your own." From Tom Butler-Bowdon, author of 50 Self-Help Classics, 50 Psychology Classics: "Major ideas in self-development and spirituality wrapped in a murder mystery? This weird combination actually works, providing a perfect entree to the field in an entertaining way. Wright has thought deeply about his material and it shows. This book gives self-development a new dimension." John Bookman is the greatest detective the city of Plimpton has ever known. When socialite Sue Ellen Pinkus is murdered, she uses her dying breath to implicate a self-improvement book club in the crime. Bookman and his partner, Alec Berg, pay a visit to the club. Fresh off a divorce, Detective Berg has a hunch that the solution to the case lies in the content of the various books championed by the eccentric club members. As the interviews progress, Bookman begins to believe that his partner just might be right. The Self-Improvement Book Club Murderbundles in one slim volume some of the best ideas from some of the greatest minds of our day. A New Earth; Power of Now; Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People; The Secret; How to Win Friends and Influence People; Rich Dad, Poor Dad; Think and Grow Rich; Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and others are explained and synthesized, enticing readers to explore these life-changing books for themselves.

Something bad is brewing among a friendly group of book lovers: “A deliciously Agatha Christie-style mystery that sucks you in from the first page.” —Sibel Hodge, bestselling author of Look Behind You Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Then scratch the surface and look closer. One is lonely. One is desperate. And one of them is a killer. When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called in to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear—and it all leads back to a book club. As the lies, volatile friendships, and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they’re on the right track, a twist in the plot throws them off course . . . “Will keep readers guessing till the very end!” —J.A. Baker, bestselling author of The Other Mother “A deliciously devilish whodunit!” —Robert Bryndza, bestselling author of the Detective Erika Foster series

Frank May hates trouble, as a lawyer and as a guy. But it likes him just fine. For someone who practices wills and trusts law because it lies far from the scene of murder and mayhem, he has a knack for being caught up in it anyway. Which is why he thought he was fortune's friend the night his wife stayed home from her book club meeting with a migraine. That very night the husband of the hostess was murdered. Frank hoped he could stay clear of this sordid affair. But that was not to be. The members of the club all came to believe that Frank and only Frank could solve the mystery.

And in the end, he blundered his way to the dramatic secret that lay at the heart of the book club murder. A Frank May Mystery, from QP Books. The series also features more fiction by Lawrence Friedman, including An Unnatural Death and Death of a Wannabe.
