For fans of Agatha Christie, Stuart Turton, Dorothy L. Sayers and bookshops...we introduce you to Lucy Darkwether: bookseller, society heiress, adventurer...and sleuth. In a new adventure, set in 1920s London and the golden age of bookselling...and crime.
READERS LOVE THESE BOOKSHOP MURDERS...
'An excellent Golden Age mystery!' 🔎
'A wonderful one-sit read!' 🔎
'The bookshop, the London landmarks, the reverence for ancient Egyptian history, the museums, the questioning of the past... Wow!' 🔎
London, 1928. Lucy Darkwether has always made her own rules. After breaking off her engagement to pursue a degree in Ancient History, she's now the proud owner of London's newest bookshop.
So when a rival shop in Cecil Court is chosen to host an exhibition of Egyptian treasures, Lucy's pride is stung - until the grand opening ends in a gruesome murder. Is this the revenge of a disgraced colleague? A private vendetta? Or a curse visited upon those who disturb the past?
Ignoring the Inspector's warning to stay out of it, Lucy refuses to stick to the script. But murder isn't a game - and what she uncovers will have consequences for them all . . .
'Some of my favourite ingredients in any novel: a bookshop setting, a redoubtable heroine and a found family of misfits - even without the zippy plot, this fresh modern take on the period detective story would be a treat. I want more!' CATRIONA McPHERSON
