Martha Hall Kelly’s standalone novels show her range as a writer. The Golden Doves (2023) is a historical thriller about two women searching for a Nazi war criminal in postwar France, and it shares DNA with her Lilac Girls series in its focus on real events and female courage.
Her 2025 novel, The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club, moves into contemporary fiction with a story set on the famous Massachusetts island. It is a different direction from her earlier historical work.
