Pick a book, any book… 📚
These are the magic words that Miranda’s uncle told her whenever she visited his bookshop, Prospero Books. Growing up amongst the shelves laden with classics old and new, Miranda was entertained by Uncle Billy’s endless array of literary treasure hunts.
But one day, Billy goes missing. And years later, now an adult, Miranda receives unexpected news: Billy has died and left her his beloved bookshop in his will.
But there’s one final mystery that Billy wanted her to solve, and he’s left her clues in the books on the shelves, in the drawers of his apartment, and even in the bookshop’s name. Miranda is determined to solve his last scavenger hunt. But will she be prepared for what she uncovers?
This gorgeous, emotional, and uplifting mystery is perfect for anyone who loves books about books.
