A Charming Murder Mystery with a Ghostly Twist
The bookshop comes with a cat. The stairs come with a ghost. And the Russian literature, this morning, comes with a body.
Cleo Marchmont came home to Bloomsbury for a quiet bookshop and a quieter life.
She did not expect the cat and the ghost that came with it.
She really did not expect the dead collector among the Dostoevsky on the morning she meant to reopen.
The police call it a sad accident. Cleo, who spent eleven years telling true first editions from clever fakes, does not.
The book by the body is a forgery. The cellar is full of stock that was never her aunt's. Her shut shop has been a warehouse for eighteen months.
That leaves no shortage of suspects, and the quiet man at the centre of it has been nothing but kind to her.
A careful man does not leave a loose end on the shelf.
Murder at Marchmont & Bell is the first Bloomsbury Bookshop Mystery. For readers of Lucy Connelly, Verity Bright, and Jackie Baldwin.
