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 it’s 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 Michael’s been framed, while romance reader Arthur believes there’s 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 won’t rest until they’ve cracked the case and gotten everyone safe at home with a book, where they belong.
One (or more) Sentence Summary: A small-town close book club group solves a murder and recovers the stolen money from the town center makes for a good read! My favorite characters were Arthur and Ash. They were to two most unlikely to become such close friends through the whole process, but it was beautiful to see it unfold.
In the end, the book club misfits crack the case open and help Michael put together some puzzle pieces that fit beautifully into Phyllis' life. Nova evolves into a strong individual and is even able to stand up to her finance and his family and do what is right herself. Each individual grows during the story and ends up in a better place due to the group working together and supporting each other.
