There's been a murder!

Murder for Two, by @niylafarook.bsky.social, from #PiccadillyPress, cover by #CarolineGarcial.

I'm only halfway, no spoilers please! (Dead good so far. Literally.)
Book cover: A Tariq Twins Mystery: Murder for Two, by Niyla Farook. Blue shattered glass backdrop with glimpses of buildings and people. Two 11 year old girls in front, one in stripes with curly hair whispering into the ear of her twin in a green hijab. Looks exciting.
