They can’t even agree on what to read, so how are they going to solve a murder?
Having recently moved from London to a small Cornish seaside village, Nova Davies started a book club at the local community center, but so far it’s a disaster. The five members disagree on everything, and to make matters worse, a significant sum of money is stolen during one of the meetings, putting the much-loved community center at risk.
Suspicion for the theft falls on book club member Michael, especially when he disappears and a dead body turns up at his house. But the book club has their own theories. Agatha Christie superfan Phyllis is determined to prove Michael’s been framed, while romance reader Arthur believes there’s a mystery woman involved, and teenage sci-fi fan Ash thinks dark forces are at play.
While trying to locate Michael, solve the murder and recover the stolen money, each of them has their own secrets to protect. But despite the danger closing in, they won’t rest until they’ve cracked the case and gotten everyone safe at home with a book, where they belong.

Critic reviews
"The small-town book group we all want to join, where the quirky, coloring-outside-the-lines members take their cues from literature and band together to do the right thing for one of their own, even if it means risking their lives to solve a crime. Funny, endearing, and full of snappy, insightful dialogue about the joys and compromises of life – I’ll bring the brownies to their next meeting!" —Christina Lynch, author of Pony Confidential
“Sampson’s latest is another fun British amateur sleuth story. … The intertwining perspectives of the disparate members will tug at readers’ armchair sleuthing abilities as they try to puzzle out whodunit and why. A good fit for fans of bookish mysteries featuring reluctant allies who learn to work together.” —Library Journal
“Sampson has a knack for pulling together a ragtag, multigenerational crew of charming characters, and this time, she adds crime to the mix. … This cozy mystery has strong caper vibes and lots of bookish references, a real treat for readers.” —Booklist
