SOMEONE’S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE…

‘George Cross is becoming one of my favourite detectives.’ ELLY GRIFFITHS

THE SETTING
When the body of a bookseller is discovered, collapsed in a pool of blood in his Bristolian bookshop, it is immediately clear that he has been murdered. What is unclear is how someone could have met such a violent end in this quiet, peaceful place.

THE CONFLICT
DS Cross is adept at dismissing red-herrings but a worrying development in his personal life has left him hopelessly distracted, leaving his usual means of deciphering evidence challenged.

THE MURDER PLOT
The world of bookselling is a quiet one, but it is full of passionate and ambitious characters. They know a rare book equals a big payoff – and their extensive reading means they also know the best ways to get away with murder…

My Thoughts:

This is book 7 of 7 in the DS Cross Thriller Series but each book can be read as a standalone. This time DS Cross is called in to find out what happened to a bookseller, after his body has been found. But this is not just a simple case and there are few a plenty of red herrings that DS Cross has to work around, but being the good detective he is will he be able to solve the case? there is lots of different avenues to pursue but who would really want to murder a bookseller? This is my first read by Tim and I wish I had discovered him sooner. I have read the last book in the series first but that does not matter as each case is a different one, so I get to go back and read his previous books which I am excited to start reading. I like how each book is completely different to the next book. I found myself drawn to DS Croft and I look forward to discovering more about him. I liked how the case was set out and how DS Croft’s mind works to solving the case. This would be a great drama to watch on tv. I felt very invested in this book and cannot wait to read more.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
