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
