Synopsis:

A captivating cozy crime novel that pays homage to the queen of mystery herself, Agatha Christie


In the aftermath of World War II, Emma Marbury inherits her late aunt Pennelope Brent’s quaint bookshop in Dartmouth, Devon. Hoping to rebuild her life, she immerses herself in the world of literature, but soon finds herself entangled in something far more sinister—a shocking connection between
a local crime and one of the most infamous cases in British history.

Guided by the wisdom of Agatha Christie’s novels and with the legendary author herself as an unexpected ally, Emma embarks on an investigation filled with secrets, deception, and dark shadows from the past. But as new clues emerge, the truth becomes increasingly dangerous, forcing Emma to confront not only the mystery before her but also the hidden depths of her own courage.

A delight for mystery lovers and an ode to the timeless appeal of a brilliantly crafted whodunit, with its richly atmospheric setting, nods to golden-age detective fiction, and an irresistibly clever heroine.
