Rachael's Review: The Undercover Bookshop by Katherine Reay

Cozy mystery and historical fiction come together for an excellent autumn read

Gemma Brown is a delightfully quirky young woman who has finally found a place she can call her own after a childhood that was deeply impacted by WWII. Personally, I found her struggles to fit and accept herself so relatable and I think other readers will as well.

The Undercover Bookshop is driven by an excellent blend of character and plot. While I loved Gemma and her character arc, I also really enjoyed the mystery and investigative aspects of the story. I won't spoil the ending, but it is deeply satisfying and ties up the different plot lines in the best way!

This story is written in first person POV, so a single narrator was perfect. Fiona Hardingham was an excellent choice for Gemma's story! Her voice brought Gemma's thoughts, feelings, and spunk to life to make this a thoroughly enjoyable hybrid reading experience!



🗨️ You started a bookshop and accidentally stocked only a single genre! Which genre was it?

Thank you to @harpermusebooks Muse, @booksparks , and @librofm for the #free finished copy and ALC! All opinions are my own.
