Synopsis (Amazon)

When a craft fair turns deadly, Gemma and Mavis investigate a local man’s murder, unearthing many secrets.

In the peaceful town of Belper, Derbyshire, Gemma, the owner of the Bookworm bookshop and café, and her trusted assistant Mavis are exhibiting books at the town’s annual fair. But the tranquillity of the town is shattered when the body of a local man is found in the church.

A man is arrested amidst the chaos, and the evidence against him is compelling but Gemma and Mavis don’t buy it and set out to clear his name and uncover the truth. As they delve deeper, they uncover startling secrets hidden behind the town’s picturesque facade.

Gemma and Mavis must tread carefully as they race against time to uncover the actual killer. But will they go too far? Will their relentless pursuit of justice put them in harm’s way?

My Take

A true cozy. A rather unchallenging but comfortable read. Village life mixed with some character development, and an unexpected death thrown in for good measure.

My rating: 4.3
