The Bookshop Detectives 3: Murder And Mojitos

In The Bookshop Detectives 3: Murder And Mojitos by Gareth and Louise Ward, small-town bookselling turns into a high-stakes cosy mystery with a razor-sharp edge and plenty of bookish humour.

Garth and Eloise (with their timid dog, Stevie) are meant to be hosting Murder and Mojitos, an Art Deco–styled festival night featuring a celebrated Cuban crime novelist. It’s all flapper outfits, rooftop antics and cocktail theatrics—until bizarre parcels start arriving at the shop and a body is found on a quiet beach. The trail drags them back to Arthur Pinter, a grammar-fixated killer who should be history.

As the town leans into its glittery festival mood, the Sherlocks race through old grudges, fresh alliances and international whispers to keep the bookshop—and their people—safe. Expect Australian detective fiction, festival mayhem and escalating suspense.

Ideal for readers who love cozy crime with genuine stakes, found-family bookshop vibes, and a seaside setting. Step inside and see how this final case unfolds.
