Guilty by Definition by Susie DentMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent from Sourcebooks Landmark via NetGalley. This book will be published around September 30, 2025.
Word Nerds Alert! Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent is the perfect book to read if you like a mystery and really love language. Each chapter starts with a unique, uncommon word and its definition. Since the story follows lexicographers at a dictionary company, the word fun doesn't end there. They are drawn into solving a mysterious disappearance through a series of notes that also involve wordplay. The notes are included so you can try to solve them as well. There is also quite a bit of Shakespeare in here if that tickles your fancy.
Bonus points for making sure the cats are all taken care of no matter what happened!
