Lemony Snicket’s standalone novels show the range of his interests outside the Baudelaire and Stain’d-by-the-Sea universes. The Composer Is Dead (2009) pairs a murder mystery with an introduction to the instruments of the orchestra. Poison for Breakfast (2021) is a philosophical work masquerading as a breakfast-table mystery, in which Snicket discovers a note informing him that his breakfast was poisoned.

Model Citizens (2022) is his most recent standalone, continuing his habit of wrapping serious ideas in deceptively playful packaging.
