Another case to solve for the number-one bestselling Bookshop Detectives.

When we opened Sherlock Tomes people warned us that we’d made a terrible mistake. The one thing they didn’t warn us about was the murders . . .

The Bookshop Detectives are on the case!

In this rollicking new adventure, Garth and Eloise (and Stevie) must sniff out a prolific poisoner ahead of a vital fundraising event, the Battle of the Book Clubs. As time runs out and the body count rises, it seems the bad actors are circling closer to the people and places they care about.

Could Pinter, the infamous serial killer from Eloise’s past, somehow be involved? And when anyone could be a suspect, how can Garth and Eloise keep their customers, their small town and their beloved bookshop safe?

Praise for The Bookshop Detectives: Dead Girl Gone:

‘Eloise and Garth are the book-selling, tea-drinking, crime-fighting duo that I didn’t know I needed in my life! The Bookshop Detectives is a real treat for bibliophiles of all stripes.’ — Jack Heath

‘Warm-hearted, filled with wry humour, spiced up with suspense . . . captivating Kiwi cosy crime!’ — Nicky Pellegrino
