When Winifred flees her past and moves to a country village, she meets up with larger-than-life Sylvie, and together they open a bookshop-café.
A dead customer upsets the equilibrium, and the two women discover that despite the dynamics of small-town living, they can bypass this inconvenience if they work together.
Bonnie Espie lures us into this seemingly simple world and then keeps us on the edge of our seats as she unravels an unpredictably dark, and riveting tale of murder, friendships and little ‘white’ lies.
Espie’s energetic, witty voice is one that will make you sit up and take note. She has burst onto the stage with this riveting debut novel, and I for one, will be on the lookout for the next one.
Bravo Bonnie Espie!
