Palliser Park, the forthcoming historical mystery by acclaimed author Anne Merino, has achieved a stunning milestone weeks before its official release: the novel has climbed to the coveted #1 New Release position in Amazon’s World War I Historical Fiction category. Such early momentum is rare, signaling not only strong reader anticipation but also the magnetic power of Merino’s storytelling.
Set against the opulent backdrop of an English seaside estate in the summer of 1919, Palliser Park draws readers into a world where glamour masks danger and every whisper leads closer to the truth. The story follows Simon and Alice Fairlight, a couple seeking peace after the Great War. Instead, they find themselves entangled in the mystery of a young maid’s deadly fall—a tragedy that exposes rivalries, envy, and long-buried secrets inside Palliser Park’s gilded walls.
The novel’s ascent to bestseller status reflects a growing appetite for elegant, atmospheric mysteries that blend historical richness with psychological depth. Merino, known for her critically praised debut Hawkesmoor: A Novel of Vampire and Faerie, brings her signature blend of refinement and tension to this new work, crafting a narrative that is as immersive as it is suspenseful.
Published by Village Care Publishing, Palliser Park stands poised to become one of the season’s standout literary releases. The book’s early success underscores the strength of Village Care’s expanding catalog, which continues to champion diverse, compelling voices in historical and literary fiction.
As the December 12 release date approaches, readers are already expressing excitement—and curiosity—about the deadly secrets hidden beneath the estate’s dazzling façade. If early indicators are any sign, Palliser Park is on track to captivate audiences far and wide.
