This time, we’ll be reading Death Of A Bookseller by Alice Slater, a dark literary thriller set in a bookshop. 📚☠️

Roach is a lonely true-crime obsessed book seller who becomes fixated with her new colleague Laura, who is everything Roach is not. Join us as we discover what happens as Roach's obsession grows to dangerous levels... 😬

Described as "spectacularly creepy" by the Guardian, and "Original and obsessively good ... as near perfect a thriller on paper as you can get" by On Magazine, it promises to be a rich vein of discussion, with themes such as obsession, loneliness, identity and friendships, as well as trauma and the impact true-crime has on society and victims.

Hope you can join us!
