Overview
An addictively cozy and gripping murder mystery introducing a brand-new amateur sleuth and lovable heroine to the crime scene…
Welcome to The Secret Bookcase, a quirky bookstore in a grand, converted manor house, where the selection of crime fiction is dangerously good. The store has been bookseller and events manager Annie Murray's sanctuary ever since her dreams of starting a detective agency with her best friend died, literally, when Scarlet was murdered.
Annie has never stopped trying to solve the mystery of her friend's death, but her quiet life in leafy Redwood Grove, with its warm community of likeminded local business-owners and book-lovers, has provided the solace she needed. Until now.
When a body is discovered in the bookstore during the town's inaugural Mystery Fest, Annie finds herself catapulted to the centre of a real-life whodunit. Dusting off her criminology degree, Annie is determined to put her sleuthing skills to good use and catch the killer – before it's too late.
Full of lovable, quirky characters and small-town charm, The Body in the Bookstore serves up an irresistible blend of intrigue for fans of cozy crime, including Lauren Elliott, Merryn Allingham and M.C. Beaton.
