Keep the Momentum Going: Tom’s adult debut, The Treasure Hunters Club, was a surefire success and the most successful debut mystery from Grove in a long time. It hit the USA Today list for multiple weeks, earned an Edgar Award nomination for the Lillian Jackson Braun award, sold extremely well at Hudson, and was selected for multiple indie bookstore bookclubs, including the coveted Crime by the Box club from Murder by the Book. We Had a Hunch looks to build on that momentum by delivering a new Tom Ryan mystery to his growing and enthusiastic fanbase.
