READERS LOVE THESE BOOKSHOP MURDERS...''An excellent Golden Age mystery!'' ????''A wonderful one-sit read!'' ????''The bookshop, the London landmarks, the reverence for ancient Egyptian history, the museums, the questioning of the past... Wow!'' ????London, 1928. Lucy Darkwether has always made her own rules. After breaking off her engagement to pursue a degree in Ancient History, she''s now the proud owner of London''s newest bookshop.So when a rival shop in Cecil Court is chosen to host an exhibition of Egyptian treasures, Lucy''s pride is stung - until the grand opening ends in a gruesome murder. Is this the revenge of a disgraced colleague? A private vendetta? Or a curse visited upon those who disturb the past?Ignoring the Inspector''s warning to stay out of it, Lucy refuses to stick to the script. But murder isn''t a game - and what she uncovers will have consequences for them all . . .''Some of my favourite ingredients in any novel: a bookshop setting, a redoubtable heroine and a found family of misfits - even without the zippy plot, this fresh modern take on the period detective story would be a treat. I want more!'' CATRIONA McPHERSON
