About this listen

Books, magic, and a cat with character!

Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and join 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-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at every 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 behind them, and why?

Brought to Book

Business is booming at Burns Books—so much so that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And that's when things start to go wrong.

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

Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out a lot 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 plenty 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?

To be honest I thought this cozy mystery series was going to be a murder mystery, but no it was a magical one, and I loved it! The characters are fantastic and their relationships are great with an outstanding performance by Charlie Sanderson. This book series is a bit odd it reminds me of a couple of different things. Wearhouse 13 the TV series, came to mind, but I was wanting more wonder from the shop, hopefully we will get it in future stories. I love the cat Folio and the main characters are solid. Liz Hedgecock is on to a winner with this series and I hope there are many more books to come.

An absolute pleasure to listen too!

This was an enjoyable listen, with a cast of engaging characters populating an interesting setting. The story whilst a little pedestrian at times was easy to listen to, with Charlie turning in a creditable performance. I may well keep an eye out for more from Liz, and would recommend this gently amusing listen.

The performance is really good and the story is pleasant to listen to but I did find that it got a little boring and predictable at times. That said, I stuck with it and found it an enjoyable and easy listen.
