YOUR SECRETS ARE SAFE WITH THE BOOKSELLER

I'm Daphne Wood, the bookseller of Castle Combe. My life was peaceful until the best-selling author Gill Holland moved to town. He bought the house next to mine, the late Bettie's place, and became my new neighbour. The girls from the book club envied my luck. I thought so too, until I started seeing the most disturbing things. They didn't know Gill Holland like I did.

Looking like a crazy person or a gossip wouldn't be good for my bookstore, so after making a bit of a scene, I decided to bite the bullet and keep what I'd seen to myself, just as my husband, Liam, advised.

However, it all blew up when Rose, my best friend, vanished from the face of the Earth. Her mother said she was on a trip, but once again, only I, the bookseller of Castle Combe with almost unlimited access inside the writer's house, knew the truth. And with my friend's life on the line, I wasn't about to stand by and do nothing.

Fist of all, great performance and narration.
What started as a seemingly mundane story turned on its head , literally.
Great for thriller enthusiasts.
one of the few whodunits I couldn't guess !
