Roach, libraire à Londres, gère son rayon true crime d’une main de maître. Ses passions : les meurtres non élucidés, les escargots, la mort. Dans sa librairie en déclin, débarquent un jour de nouveaux libraires pour une reprise de la dernière chance. Parmi eux Laura, employée modèle...

EVERYONE KNOWS DANIEL. BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE HE IS. 'A heady, potent cocktail of a novel. I downed it in one' ERIN KELLY Daniel is missing. No one has seen or heard from him in weeks. Beside herself with worry, his sister Caroline hosts an intimate gathering in her London home to grill those...

IL THRILLER CHE TUTTI I LIBRAI MORIRANNO DALLA VOGLIA DI VENDERE.

Roach ha ventiquattro anni e lavora in una libreria londinese: vende di tutto, ma per lei gli unici libri che vale la pena leggere sono quelli che raccontano di crimini, omicidi, serial killer, casi di cronaca nera. Con gli auricolari sempre nelle orecchie, sintonizzati sugli amati podcast di True Crime, Roach non consiglierà mai a un cliente commedie romantiche o i bestseller delle giovani star di TikTok.

Roach would rather be listening to the latest episode of her favorite true crime podcast than assisting the boring and predictable customers at her local branch of the bookstore Spines, where she's worked her entire adult life. A serious true crime junkie, Roach looks down her nose at the pumpkin-spice-latte-drinking casual fans who only became interested in the genre once it got trendy. But when Laura, a pretty and charismatic children's bookseller, arrives to help rejuvenate the struggling bookstore branch, Roach recognizes in her an unexpected kindred spirit.

Roach, a bookseller and a loner, is content to spend her days hoarding true crime proofs, listening to murder podcasts, and sneering at the predictable tastes of her normie customers. That is, until Laura joins the bookshop. Everyone loves Laura, with her neat outfits, literary tote bags and beautiful poetry. But Laura has a dark side that only Roach can see, and when Roach uncovers her tragic past, curiosity blooms into obsession. As Roach's boundaries disintegrate, it becomes clear that she will do anything to infiltrate Laura's life—and at any cost.
