About this listen

A cosy mystery set in the picturesque city of York. Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, LJ Ross and Faith Martin.

Librarian Kitt Hartley thought her life had gone back to normal after the shocking events of Murder by the Minster. Then her friend Evie Bowes breaks some bad news: DS Charlotte Banks has been suspended from duty, on suspicion of assaulting a suspect in a string of antique bookshop robberies.

Evie wants justice for Charlotte, who she is sure was not the attacker, and how could any self-respecting librarian turn down the chance to find missing rare books? The two friends team up once again to investigate the rarefied world of York's bookshops and antiques dealers and find out just who has framed their friend.

But Kitt and Evie will soon learn that there are some books people will kill for - will this story have a happy ending?

The first book had promise, but unless I’m missing a lot this book had no real plot. Laboured. I listened because I’d paid and I didn’t have to concentrate very hard.

Keystone Cops

Found this a tedious book and I couldn’t empathise with the characters. I’ll not be reading any further books in this series.

Disappointing story

Great follow up to murder by the minster.
This one is more in Evie’s pov.
It is cute but alittle unrealistic with civilians helping in a police investigation but then again it is fiction so.
Looking forward to listening/reading the rest of the series.

Lovely story

I loved the first book. Fantastic characters and relationships. This book was even better! Would highly recommend

Another excellent story

Brilliant characters. Well written setting. And twists enough for a Gordian knot.
I bought this on an offer and it’s the 2nd of a series (I’ll need to buy the 1st). I really enjoyed the whole book.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

An enjoyable romp chasing a murderer around York
