I am reviewing a copy of The Bookshop Murder through Bookoture and Netgalley:
A young man with a shock of white-blond hair lay spread-eagled on the floor, surrounded by fallen books. His hand was reaching out as if he was trying to tell her something .
Who is this young man? Why would someone kill him in in Flora’s ordinary little bookshop? Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.
Are the two deaths connected, the Gardner of the hotel, along with this guest? Is someone at the hotel responsible – the nervous cook, the money-obsessed receptionist, or the formidable manageress?
In order to solve the mystery and determined to save her beloved bookshop’s reputation, Flora enlists the help of handsome and brooding Jack Carrington: crime writer, recluse and her most reliable customer.
The unlikely duo set about investigating the baffling case, guilty faces greet them at every door. And they soon realise there’s more than one person hiding secrets in Abbeymead…
If you are looking for a good, fun mystery read, full of questions and revelations, I recommend The Bookshop Murder.
I give The Bookshop Murder five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
