A Bookish Betrayal: a gripping English cozy mystery full of twists (The Chiltern Hills Mysteries Book 9)

Previously published as Retribution.

Rona’s determined to give this book an ending. Or die trying.

When Rona’s agent asks her to complete Russell Page’s final biography, Rona jumps at the chance. Russell was a fine writer, who’d pursue the truth no matter where it led . . . Until his untimely death in a car crash.

Now it’s up to Rona to pick up where he left off, writing about TV personality Gideon Ward.

But every page she turns raises troubling new questions.

Hoping for a distraction, Rona takes a lighter job, interviewing bestselling cookery writer Nicole Summers. But things soon take a shocking turn . . . when Rona finds her glamorous new subject lying dead on her kitchen floor. Murdered.

As long-buried secrets begin to surface — not least, a disturbing link between Nicole and Gideon Ward — Rona starts to wonder whether Russell’s fatal crash was really an accident after all.

Can she uncover the truth before the killer writes their own final chapter?
