About this ebook
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!
LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2024
WINNER OF DEBUT OF THE YEAR at the FINGERPRINT AWARDS
WOULD YOU KILL FOR A GOOD STORY?
Roach - bookseller, loner and true crime fanatic- is not interested in making friends. She has all the company she needs in her serial killer books, murder podcasts and her pet snail, Bleep.
That is, until Laura joins the bookshop.
With her cute literary tote bags and sunny smile, she's everyone's favourite bookseller. But beneath the shiny veneer, Roach senses a darkness within Laura, the same darkness Roach possesses.
And as curiosity blooms into morbid obsession, Roach becomes determined to be a part of Laura's story - whether Laura wants her in it or not.

'For avid readers, thrill-seekers and disgruntled employees alike; Death of a Bookseller is tense, arch and impossible to put down' Eliza Ward
'Savage, witty and all-consuming, it's both a love letter to bookselling and a thriller of the most unsettling variety' Abigail Dean
'A stunning debut' Jane Casey
'Utterly engrossing, atmospheric and deliciously dark. Hugely compelling' Will Dean
