Bloomsbury presents The Bookseller by Tim Sullivan, read by Finlay Robertson.

SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE...

'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS

THE SETTING
The body of a bookseller is discovered, lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop. Police have one question: how did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place?

THE CONFLICT
DS Cross’s ability to dismiss red herrings is challenged by a worrying development in his personal life. Hopelessly distracted, he needs to rely on those around him in a way he has never been comfortable doing before.

THE MURDER PLOT
It may be a quiet profession, but it’s full of passionate, ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book. Their extensive reading means they also know how to get away with murder.

But is that enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross?

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

I love this series! Engaging and suspenseful! IDS Cross is funny and creative, I
definitely recommend.

Love this Series...and DS Cross!

Such a great series! I started with Book 1 and ended up spending the last 2 weeks listening to all the DS Cross books (Books 1, 3-7) available on Audible. Very interesting and amusing at times. Lots of twists and turns so keep you guessing. The main character, DS Cross is incredibly talented and is on the Asperger's Specrum so we get a look at what it is like for him to deal with a chaotic world and navigate social norms. The narration has been great and consistent through the entire series, Looking forward to Book 8, The Tailor. Highly recommend this series!

A Great Series Gets Even Better

Remarkable character development, astounding plots, marvelous humanity and outstanding narration. You’ve got to be kidding, there is little better than the DS Cross series.
