The Magical Bookshop: Volumes 1-3 Paperback – 27 April 2021

Books, magic, and a cat with character!

Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and sign up for sales assistant Jemma, bookshop owner Raphael and Folio the cat in three spellbinding cozy mysteries.

Every Trick In The Book

When Jemma James takes a job at Burns Books, the second one-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at each 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 in the back of them, and why?

Brought to Book

Business is booming at Burns Books — such a lot in order that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And that’s when things start to go flawed.

Luke’s helpful, he’s knowledgeable, and the customers like him. So why is the shop up to its old tricks, and a couple of new ones?

Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out much more than they bargained for. Will working at the bookshop ever be the same again?

Double Booked

Jemma’s dream of running her own bookshop is becoming a nightmare. She has a number of ideas, but her assistant Maddy is resistant to change. Come to that, so are the customers.

To distract herself, Jemma gets involved in Raphael’s attempt to recruit a new member of staff — but that doesn’t go entirely to plan either, as his wider team turns against him.

Can Jemma and Raphael work out what’s going on and get their lives back to normal before they run out of time?
