Perfect for you if...

You enjoy puzzles woven into mysteries, where decoding clues is as satisfying as the final reveal.
You love small-town settings where everyone has secrets and the local bookshop owner becomes an unlikely detective.
You've read The Thursday Murder Club and want more cosy mysteries with sharp dialogue and genuine friendships at the heart.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers with high stakes and constant danger rather than methodical puzzle-solving.
You want dark, gritty crime fiction without the warmth and humour that defines cosy mysteries.
You haven't read the first two books in the series and prefer to start fresh with standalone novels.

About this book

Gemma, owner of The Bookworm Bookshop, is surprised to be named in a stranger's will. She receives a vintage set of encyclopaedias and a letter containing a cryptic code—a long sequence of numbers—with instructions to read it privately. The deceased man wanted to expose a long-hidden family secret connected to an unsolved murder from decades ago, both to honor his late wife's memory and to ease his conscience. Gemma and her business partner Mavis work to solve the code and uncover the truth. As they follow the clues, they discover a legacy of lies from a family desperate to protect its past. Set in the English countryside, this cozy mystery is the third book in The Bookshop Mysteries series, following A Bitter Pill and A Murder at the Church. The story contains twists, puzzles, and small-town intrigue.
