The Black Cats Bookshop

The international bestseller! Translated from the Italian, this is a cosy, twisty whodunit for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman. In the heart of southern Italy, the perfect crime is about to meet its match: a book club. Marzio Montecristo is a grumpy bookseller who prefers fictional murders to real people. He owns The Black Cats Bookshop, home to two feline sleuths, Miss Marple and Poirot, and a weekly book club of self-appointed crime experts – from a Franciscan monk to a murderous-minded goth, they know every twist, every trope and every red herring. But there is a killer afoot. When a terrifying masked criminal begins a real-life murder spree, policewoman Angela Dimase must turn to the unlikeliest of detectives: Marzio’s book club. For The Black Cats Bookshop, the next chapter could be fatal . . .
