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.

On the anniversary of her brother's death, Caroline hosts an intimate dinner party in her beautiful West London home. It's a chance for those who were closest to Daniel to come together over grilled oysters and champagne cocktails as they share fond memories of the man they all loved so dearly, who never came home from New Orleans.

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.

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.
