With grateful thanks to netgalley and Merryn for a arc in return for an honest opinion.
First time reading this author and what a joy, can't wait for book 2 in the series.
A fabulous village setting a bookshop the wonderful Jack the writer and the gorgeous flora mix together odd goings on dead bodies mix together and a totally fantastic tale appears I can highly recommend this outstandingly fabulous book.

A Body In The Bookshop....
The first in the Flora Steele Mystery series, set in the sleepy village of Abbeymead, and a really promising start to what is sure to be a most satisfying series of cosy mysteries featuring book shop owner Flora and, her new acquaintance and crime writer, Jack Carrington. When Flora and Jack stumble across a dead body in her rambling bookshop a catalogue of unimaginable events begin. Wholly entertaining with likeable protagonists in Flora and Jack and a colourful cast of supporting characters that develop nicely as the tale progresses. An easy, relaxing and most enjoyable read.

Sussex, 1955.

Village bookshop owner Flora and reclusive author Jack find a body in Flora's shop. Who is he, and why did he break in?

The official verdict of a heart attack doesn't ring true on a perfectly healthy 21 year old victim, so the pair start digging around to find out what really happened, in a bid to save the bookshop from bankruptcy.

Delightful and intriguing
