In a Cornish seaside village, Nova Davies and her dysfunctional book club members become amateur sleuths after a theft threatens their community center, a murder implicates a missing member, and secrets among them complicate their quest to solve the case and restore order.
They cant even agree on what to read, so how are they going to solve a murder?
Having recently moved from London to a small Cornish seaside village, Nova Davies started a book club at the local community center, but so far its a disaster. The five members disagree on everything, and to make matters worse, a significant sum of money is stolen during one of the meetings, putting the much-loved community center at risk.
Suspicion for the theft falls on book club member Michael, especially when he disappears and a dead body turns up at his house. But the book club has their own theories. Agatha Christie superfan Phyllis is determined to prove Michaels been framed, while romance reader Arthur believes theres a mystery woman involved, and teenage sci-fi fan Ash thinks dark forces are at play.
While trying to locate Michael, solve the murder and recover the stolen money, each of them has their own secrets to protect. But despite the danger closing in, they wont rest until theyve cracked the case and gotten everyone safe at home with a book, where they belong.
