About this listen

Adapted from the upcoming major U&alibi series created by Mark Gatiss

Matthew Sweet's novelisation of Bookish is based on a six-part TV series coming to U&alibi this summer, set in post-war London in 1946, about an enigmatic independent bookshop owner who helps the local police solve crimes.

Gabriel Book is an erudite and unconventional London bookseller married to Trottie, the owner of the wallpaper shop next door. He is also a sleuth who uses the chaotic riches of his stock to crack the puzzling cases that come his way.

He does not work alone. Book's shop is a magnet for waifs and strays - one of whom is an aspiring writer called Nora. Unlike the TV series, the novel will re-tell the crime stories from Nora's perspective.

Clever, endearing and entertaining, Bookish is a warm-hearted and unexpected mystery, about books, murder and the secrets we all keep.
