A few words from Bookseller E about this month's thriller
"Gabriel Ward is a King's Counsel. His is a small and controlled life, one of routine, until the Lord Chief Justice is found dead on his doorstep.
This is a gem of a cosy crime book. It would make a cracking holiday read.

April's Books of the Month:
A crime book which is not just a crime book,
A time-traveling tale of love and adventure,
A Geo-political look at the borders of the world,
An examination of life through the lens of a single raindrop,
And the tale of a monstrously tricky customer.
