Description

SOMEONE'S ABOUT THE 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...

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be read in any order.

Featured Reviews

The Bookseller is the seventh installment in the George Cross series and follows the investigation into the murder of a bookseller in Bristol. I really enjoyed Tim Sullivan's writing style and thought that the pacing of this extract was perfect. As someone who loves books and is familiar with Bristol, I was very excited about the premise and setting of this book and I liked that various landmarks in Bristol were mentioned so I could vividly picture where this was taking place. Even in the first seven chapters, I felt that the characters were developed and within this extract I was invested in the plot and characters.

Overall this was extremely engaging to read and I would definitely be interested in reading the book when it comes out.
