Produktbeschreibung

Bookworm Elliot Todd realises his dream of running a bookshop in a small provincial town. Though he has yet to find his soulmate, he is for the most part contented. Then, one day, events take a dramatic turn. The death of the 'Shakespeare expert' Harry Nielsen, following a talk at the bookshop, marks the beginning of a tangled web of intrigue leading to a thrilling conclusion. 'A real page-turner. A murder mystery, with Shakespearean echoes, set in the world of books. What more could a reader ask for?' Tim Pears, author of In Place of Fallen Leaves, In a land of Plenty and The Horseman. 'The Shakespeare Thief is an extremely enjoyable book with lively characters and a rollicking plot.' Alexander Waugh. Author of Shakespeare in Court.

Autorenporträt

My crime series is based around a bookshop owner inspired by own time as a manager of a bookshop. The first two, The Shakespeare Thief and Roman Holiday, are now available and I am busy writing the third. Central to the story are the characters of Elliot the bookshop owner, his main employee, Esther, the subject of his unrequited love, the eccentric but loyal Aggie, his interfering mother Elizabeth, his history lover friend Cameron. They are written, I hope, with warmth and humour and contain many a literary allusion.
