A Sunday Times bestseller
In this "utterly unforgettable" debut (Catherine Ryan Howard), a disaffected, true crime-obsessed bookseller develops a dangerous obsession with a colleague.
Roach would rather be listening to the latest episode of her favorite true crime podcast than assisting the boring and predictable customers at her local branch of the bookstore Spines, where she's worked her entire adult life. A serious true crime junkie, Roach looks down her nose at the pumpkin-spice-latte-drinking casual fans who only became interested in the genre once it got trendy. But when Laura, a pretty and charismatic children's bookseller, arrives to help rejuvenate the struggling bookstore branch, Roach recognizes in her an unexpected kindred spirit.
Despite their common interest in true crime, Laura keeps her distance from Roach, resisting the other woman's overtures of friendship. Undeterred, Roach learns everything she can about her new colleague, eventually uncovering Laura's traumatic family history. When Roach realizes that she may have come across her very own true crime story, interest swiftly blooms into a dangerous obsession.
A darkly funny suspense novel, Death of a Bookseller raises ethical questions about the fervor for true crime and how we handle stories that don't belong to us.

Books, Snails and Serial Killers
Alice Slater has written a story, that refuses to let go, I couldn't think about anything else! As a bookseller myself, I obviously loved the bookish parts, the daily perks (or sometimes downsides) of working in a bookshop. The details fit just perfectly, but then again, Alice Slater spent six years working with Waterstones (I'm a lot jealous not gonna lie). This well executed dark character study, was definitely not the cozy mystery I expected, but ALL THE BETTER! When Laura (the 'bookish girl') starts working at her branch, Brodie (Roach) is convinced, they should be friends. Let me tell you, that sounds as creepy and obsessive as it turns out to be... This book is both unsettling and humorous, it takes you in a world of true crime, snails as pets and some deep obsessions with serial killers. Another debut I absolutely loved!
