The Paris Bookshop Secret

A compelling new historical mystery from the author of The Secrets of Rochester Place and The Story Collector

How far will they go to find their story?

When Alexis meets Maeve - a reclusive woman in her eighties - they feel an unexpected and beautiful kinship. Alexis is embracing nomad life after burning out as a big-shot editor. And Maeve is mourning her glory days as a bestselling author.

Their friendship inspires Maeve to write again. Her last novel pours out of her - a story of love and heartbreak, centred around a bookshop in 1950s Paris.

But the line between fact and fiction is as fine as a whisper, and the novel unfurls a long-buried mystery, one that has haunted Maeve's existence.

And will reverberate into the lives of both women, decades later...
