About this listen

When a book signing turns deadly, two bookshop owners turn detectives.

Gemma loves the quiet life of her bookshop, the Bookworm—a haven for book lovers in a quaint town in the heart of Derbyshire. But everything changes when Gemma discovers the body of local author Dominic Westley during the shop’s latest book signing event.

When the police rule the death as an accidental overdose, Dominic’s estranged widow points the finger at one of his past lovers. Gemma and her trusty assistant, Mavis, won’t rest until they uncover the truth. Was it an accidental overdose or something more sinister?

Fans of cozy mysteries will delight in The Bookshop Mysteries - A Bitter Pill, a charming and suspenseful story that will keep you guessing until the very end. If you enjoyed books like The Thursday Murder Club or The Missing Maid, then this is the perfect book for you to curl up with.

Ok plot but annoying narrator

There are so many ‘cosy murder mysteries’ on the shelves at the moment, buyers are spoilt for choice. Disappointingly this is not one I’ll recommend although I liked the bookshop angle. The writing was very cliched, descriptions unoriginal and every time I heard ‘my dear’ I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. Poor Mavis, just because she’s a pensioner doesn’t mean she has to be saddled with that affectation. I guessed the murderer very early on which was also frustrating. Not helped by the reader’s saccharine voice and flat intonation.
