A Small Town Cozy Mystery

By: S.A. Reeves

Narrated by: Emily Mount

Gemma never expected to be invited to a total stranger’s will reading, and she’s even more baffled when she receives a vintage set of encyclopaedias and a letter with strict instructions to read it in private

The letter contains a cryptic code; a long sequence of numbers. Wanting to keep a promise to his late wife, but also unburden his conscience, the deceased man wanted to expose a long-hidden family secret connected to a sixty-year-old unsolved murder. Gemma, the owner of The Bookworm Bookshop and her sharp-witted business partner, Mavis, must solve the code and uncover the truth. As they follow the clues, they uncover a legacy of lies from a family desperate to protect its past.

Set in the picturesque English countryside, The Bookshop Mysteries – A Legacy of Lies is a cozy mystery filled with twists, puzzles and the charm of small-town intrigue. Will Gemma and Mavis uncover the truth, or will this family’s deadly legacy remain buried?

The Bookshop Mysteries – A Legacy of Lies, the gripping sequel to A Bitter Pill and A Murder at the Church, is a must-listen for anyone who loves cozy mysteries. A Legacy of Lies is perfect for listeners who enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club and The Body in the Bookstore.
