Murder in the library
(Book)

"An utterly gripping English cozy mystery"--Cover.

"Julia Bird joins the library just in time to attend a talk by celebrated local author Vincent Andrews. Vincent teases the crowd with a reading from his forthcoming novel. Set in a village bearing strange similarities to Berrywick, with characters the audience start to recognise, Vincent hints of dark secrets to be revealed, to gasps of outrage from the room. The meeting ends in uproar, and, just hours later, Vincent's dead body is discovered behind the bookshelves. Remembering her neighbours' faces at the book reading, Julia wonders if one of them could have lost the plot enough to kill... As Julia interrogates the suspects, she walks straight into another scene of murder and mayhem, and realises Vincent's manuscript is now missing. There's someone out there who's deadly serious about keeping their secrets unpublished. Will Julia be able to stop them, before anyone else gets hurt?"--Publisher (adapted).
