Some marriages end in court while others end at the morgue. When Gemma agrees to uncover one man’s secrets, she never expected to stumble onto a killer who thinks that some lies are worth killing for…

When Penelope, the wife of a bestselling thriller author, walks into the Bookworm Bookshop and Café, she makes Gemma an offer she can’t refuse: to work for her as a private investigator.

Penelope suspects that her husband is cheating on her and wants physical evidence before she files for divorce. Gemma agrees to help, but her investigation quickly leads her and her sidekick, the ever-curious Mavis into a web of literary egos and secrets that should have stayed between the pages of a bestseller, and not real life.

When Penelope’s husband turns up dead, it’s clear that someone wanted to close the book on him for good. Gemma must uncover the truth before the killer gets to their final chapter.

Set in the charming Derbyshire town of Belper, The Bookshop Mysteries – A Deadly Deceit is perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and The Body in the Bookstore. Cozy, clever, and wickedly twisty—this is one mystery book you’ll find hard to put down.
