A Body In The Bookshop by Helen Cox

Amateur Sleuthing

A Body In The Bookshop by Helen Cox is a compelling contemporary crime novel that I read in just one sitting. It is the second book in A Kitt Hartley Yorkshire Mystery series but can be read as a stand-alone.

I enjoyed once more meeting up with familiar faces. As murder and mayhem ensue, amateur sleuth Kitt Hartley finds herself once more trying to solve crimes.

There are links to books and bookshops meaning that Kitt Hartley is in her element. Like a modern-day Miss Marple, Kitt Hartley is determined to get to the bottom and solve all the crimes. She also has contacts on the local police force who help her out.

Kitt Hartley’s friend Evie has scars from a previous crime (in book 1). She is self-conscious but “your scars aren’t ugly. They’re like tattoos… that mark your survival.” Evie must learn to love herself. True beauty comes from within.

Helen Cox has created an intricate plotline that engaged and entertained from the start.
