Perfect for you if...

  • You love British cosy mysteries where small-town secrets run deeper than they appear.
  • You enjoy sleuthing alongside a protagonist who's genuinely clever and won't accept easy answers.
  • You appreciate character-driven plots where the puzzle matters less than understanding why people do what they do.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want high stakes or violent crime; this is gentle mystery, not thriller territory.
  • You prefer standalone novels; this is book six in a series, and Rona's quirks will feel familiar to series readers.
  • You're impatient with domestic drama; half the pleasure here is watching small-town relationships fray and tangle.

About this book

A Bookish Twist is the sixth book in Anthea Fraser's Chiltern Hills Mysteries series, set in England's Chiltern Hills. Rona Parish is a biographer with a talent for uncovering murder and mystery. She lives with her husband Max, an illustrator, and Gus, her Golden Retriever. To maintain her independence and writing time, Max leaves their townhouse on weekdays. Rona's twin sister Lindsey occasionally visits. When Rona meets her new neighbours, Barbara and Keith Franks, and their daughter Louise, she senses something is amiss. Louise, who rarely leaves the house due to health issues, eventually approaches Rona for help. Louise has lost her memories in a car crash and wants to recover her past. However, family photos and records were destroyed in a mysterious fire, leaving her to question whether Barbara and Keith are truly her parents. This book was previously published as Next Door to Murder.
