Chris's Reviews > Death of a Bookseller

** spoiler alert ** Thank you Hodder and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was well written and I enjoyed reading it, but I wouldn’t call it a thriller, as the title suggests. Being a bookseller myself, I liked reading about the bookselling business and it was absolutely recognisable. The work, the colleagues, the customers, the extremely busy period just before Christmas… I don’t know if it’s really true that British booksellers work all nighters just to be able to shelve all the incoming books; I’m just glad that that’s not the case here in the Netherlands!
I don’t read many crime novels, but when I do I want them to be thrilling and exciting, and even though there’s some pretty heavy stalking and obsession going on, I’m afraid to say it didn’t make me sit at the edge of my chair. And spoiler alert:






nobody gets killed.
