*****
Roach - bookseller, loner and true crime fanatic- is not interested in making friends. 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 cute literary tote bags and sunny smile, she's everyone's favourite bookseller. But beneath the shiny veneer, Roach senses a darkness within Laura, the same darkness Roach possesses.
And as curiosity blooms into morbid obsession, Roach becomes determined to be a part of Laura's story - whether Laura wants her in it or not.

Slow to start but really got into it
I really enjoyed this. The author writes beautifully and the storyline was good. It was a bit slow to start but I persevered and I’m glad I did.

A good but hard read
There is a lot about this book to like - especially the beautiful, descriptive writing - but I really struggled with the characters. I didn’t like either of the leads much and think it needed more back story on Roach to make her character believable.

A mixed listen
Well written, and well read.
However I didn’t enjoy it - I found the story a bit depressing, and the ending unrealistic and unclear.
