About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Bookseller by Tim Sullivan, read by Finlay Robertson.

SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE...

'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS

THE SETTING
The body of a bookseller is discovered, lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop. Police have one question: how did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place?

THE CONFLICT
DS Cross’s ability to dismiss red herrings is challenged by a worrying development in his personal life. Hopelessly distracted, he needs to rely on those around him in a way he has never been comfortable doing before.

THE MURDER PLOT
It may be a quiet profession, but it’s full of passionate, ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book. Their extensive reading means they also know how to get away with murder.

But is that enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross?

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be enjoyed in any order.

The plots in this series are always twisty, but what I most enjoy is the journey you take with the characters.
At times DS Cross makes me laugh out loud. It’s also given me valuable insight into the ‘spectrum’. Helping me understand myself and those closest to me a little more. 10/10

This series just keeps getting better!

I’ve loved listening to all of this series of books. I’ve read them in order, (even though you don’t have to).

I love how the writer describes George’s awkwardness with social niceties and his relationship with his colleagues (especially his work partner Josie). Getting to know all the people who pass in and out of both their lives makes the story so much more interesting too.

Always A Pleasure
