No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and join sales assistant Jemma, bookshop owner Raphael and Folio the cat in three spellbinding cozy mysteries.
When Jemma James takes a job at Burns Books, the second-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at every step. Raphael, the owner, is more interested in his newspaper than sales. Folio the bookshop cat has it in for Jemma, and the shop itself appears to have a mind of its own. Or is it more than that?
Gradually Jemma starts to make a difference ... and then the anonymous letters start arriving. Who is behind them, and why?
Business is booming at Burns Books β so much so that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And thatβs when things start to go wrong.
Lukeβs helpful, heβs knowledgeable, and the customers like him. So why is the shop up to its old tricks, and a few new ones?
Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out a lot more than they bargained for. Will working at the bookshop ever be the same again?
Jemmaβs dream of running her own bookshop is becoming a nightmare. She has plenty of ideas, but her assistant Maddy is resistant to change. Come to that, so are the customers.
To distract herself, Jemma gets involved in Raphaelβs attempt to recruit a new member of staff β but that doesnβt go entirely to plan either, as his wider team turns against him.
Can Jemma and Raphael work out whatβs going on and get their lives back to normal before they run out of time?
