Welcome to the first in a new cosy crime series: Little Bookshop of Murders

Little Bookshop of Murders is the first in a brand new cosy crime series, the first book for adults from the bestselling children’s author – and the first author published by us – Nicki Thornton.

Nicki ran her own award-winning independent bookshop for eleven years, and drew on her experiences – as well as her love of Agatha Christie and classic and contemporary crime novels – to create a world centered around a bookshop.

“Former lawyer Keera Munroe wants to put her past behind her with nothing more challenging than selling enough books to pay the bills. But when Keera opens a bookshop in idyllic Crossways, there’s a lot she cannot leave behind, like the fact she’s hard-wired to seek out truth and justice. Or her nose for trouble—which is telling her that village life is not quite as lovely as it appears. Right about the time the first body turns up.“
