British cozy mysteries from a Bloomsbury bookshop, where the cat has opinions and the late owner refuses to leave.
Get the free book Get in touchImogen Penrose lives in Bloomsbury with a tabby cat called Boswell and a great many books. She writes the Bloomsbury Bookshop Mysteries, which follow Cleo Marchmont, an amateur sleuth who inherits her great-aunt's bookshop and discovers it comes with rather more than first editions.
She is at her happiest in second-hand bookshops, at her most reliable on her morning walk through Bedford Square, and at her least useful before the second cup of tea.
A week in a Sussex village. A cottage to clear, a great-aunt to lay to rest, and a letter on the kitchen table that names three people owed an explanation. Cleo Marchmont thinks she has come to say goodbye. She has come to start something instead.
