Bookish by Matthew Sweet

Hardcover – Quercus – October 2025 – 369 pages

Gabriel Book is an erudite and unconventional London bookseller married to Trottie, the owner of the wallpaper shop next door. He is also a sleuth who uses the chaotic riches of his stock to crack the puzzling cases that come his way.

He does not work alone. Book’s shop is a magnet for waifs and strays – one of whom is an aspiring writer called Nora. Unlike the TV series, the novel will re-tell the crime stories from Nora’s perspective.

Adapted from the new TV series created by Mark Gatiss.
