First of all, thanks to Netgalley and Random House UK for the advanced copy.

This book really pulls you in from the first chapter. That's because Lydia (who works in the Bright Ideas Bookstore) finds a customer, Joey, who has hanged himself in the upper floor of the bookstore. With a picture of her in his pocket.
From here we have chapters from Lydia at the present time and chapters from the past, as Lydia tries to delve into Joey's life and tries to decipher why he decided to kill himself in the bookstore with her picture.
I really enjoyed this book, it flows easily and keeps you hooked.
However, I did guess the whodunnit about 2/3 of the way through and I never guess right!

Lydia quite happily lives her life hiding among the novels at the bookstore at which she works. But after a well loved customer, Joey, commits suicide in the history section, Lydia's life slowly starts to unravel.

I admit that this book isn't the kind of book I normally read, but I was intrigued by the blurb. I have always enjoyed thriller movies, so I thought I would try a book.

Although I think the idea and execution of this book was great, it just wasn't my cup of tea.I would recommend to all the thriller lovers out there.
