Über diesen Titel

Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic paperbacks, when she's not spending her days combing the charity shops and jumble sales of suburban London for valuable collector's items, she's pining for the woman of her dreams and nimbly avoiding her landlord's demands for rent.

The most elusive prize of all, her white whale, has surfaced—a set of magnificent, vintage Sleuth Hound crime novels. Gorgeous, and as rare as they come. Just one problem. They're not for sale. Still, that won't stop a resourceful woman like Cordelia… One burglary later, the books are hers. Unfortunately, the man she's just robbed turns out be one of London's most dangerous gangsters, and now he's on her trail and out for blood.

Cordelia's best laid plans to pay the rent and woo the object of her affections start to fall apart, and she realises she may have placed herself in the crosshairs of a villain torn straight from the pages of her treasured novels.

To prevent any spoilers of this well written whilst not always anywhere near realistic plot, it is a charming read and cleverly hints at characters of the Vinyl detective series.

The one fact I did struggle with throughout, that the main person is described in character that lacks any sympathetic connection. As I do prefer a 'connection' with the main character - even if it is a 'baddie' I found myself struggling to root for her/ be in her corner, even if it is a dodgy one. For me, the self centric and crude way of making a living and described possesive thoughts made that difficult.

As the last part of the book hinted at some character evolvement, I will still give the second book a try.
