Death Of A Bookseller by Alice Slater in paperback

Meet Roach - a bookseller, true crime fanatic, and self-proclaimed loner. She has all the company she needs in her serial killer books, murder podcasts, and her pet snail, Bleep. That is, until Laura joins the bookshop. With her adorable literary tote bags and sunny smile, she quickly becomes everyone's favorite bookseller. Beneath the shiny exterior, however, Roach senses a darkness within Laura - one that she can relate to all too well. As her curiosity turns to obsession, Roach becomes determined to be a part of Laura's story - whether Laura wants her in it or not. This debut is a chilling and addictive read that will stick with you long after you finish.
