As the father of DS George Cross faces a
very hard medical diagnosis, he works the case of a murder inside Squire’s Rare
Books. Located in Bristol and owned by the Squire family, the bookstore has
been a fixture in Berkeley Square. The squires have been involved in the business
of rare books for decades, but world of bookselling has massively changed from
when Torquil Squire was a mere lad running books when he was a lad. The staff
that runs the place these days is having a hard time working together and
adjusting the business and there is friction.
Did that friction play a role or cause
the death of Edward Squire, son of Torquil, or not? A question that DS George
Cross and the rest of the team will have to answer in coming days along with a
host of other questions. A team that has a lot going on, professionally and
personally, as they deal with various matters including the repercussions of
recent events depicted in The Teacher.
Quite a lot is happening in The Bookseller:
A DS George Cross Mystery. This review deliberately skims the surface
of this intense police procedural. In my opinion, to reveal more would cause spoilers
and I won’t do that. Suffice it to say that this is a mighty good read in a
series that just keeps getting better and better.
As I have tried to make clear before,
each book in this series is well worth your time. The Bookseller: A DS George Cross
Mystery is as well.

no expectation of a positive review.
