The Bookshop Detectives 2:Tea,Cake and Death by Gareth and Louise Ward – Book Review

The Bookshop Detectives 2: Tea, Cake and Death by Gareth and Louise Ward involves another case for the number-one bestselling Bookshop Detectives to solve!

In this frolicsome new adventure, Garth, Eloise (and their beloved dog, Stevie), must investigate and, hopefully, flush out a prolific poisoner before their annual fundraising event, “The Battle of the Book Clubs”!!

As time runs out, however, danger heightens as it creeps closer to home, and the body count rises! Garth, Eloise and their loyal bookshop employees are forced to put their business aside and once more pick up the case files!!

They contemplate whether Pinter, the infamous serial killer from Eloise’s past, could be involved? Although, quite honestly, anyone could be a suspect!

It begs the question, will Garth and Eloise be able to keep their customers, their small town, and their beloved bookshop safe?

Another wondrous read by this talented pair. Full of humour, quips, quirky characters (including Stevie), and the epitome of a good murder/mystery. I suggest you READ IT NOW!!

ISBN: 9781776951024

The Bookshop Detectives 2: Tea, Cake and Death is available in paperback, e-book and audiobook.
