The way the villagers avoid outsiders, the furtive stares and whispers in the presence of newcomers... Berit can sense the edge of a story waiting to be unraveled, and she's just the person to do it. In fact, with a book deadline looming over her and no manuscript (not even the idea for a manuscript, truth be told), Berit doesn't just want this story. She needs it. Then, while attending a village tea party, Berit becomes part of the action herself. An explosion in the library of the village's grand manor kills a local man, and the resulting investigation and influx of outsiders sends the quiet, rundown community into chaos. The residents of Great Diddling, each one more eccentric and interesting than any character Berit could have invented, rewrite their own narrative and transform the death of one of their own from a tragedy into a new beginning. Taking advantage of Great Diddling's new notoriety, the villagers band together to start a book and murder festival designed to bring desperately-needed tourists to their town. What they couldn't have predicted is how the new story they've begun to tell will change all their lives forever. Uplifting, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Murders in Great Diddling by New York Times bestselling author Katarina Bivald is a celebration of the life-changing magic of books and the people who love them"--

98,95 - 119,95 kr. Det hele starter med en brevveksling mellem to meget forskellige kvinder. Den generte bogorm Sara er 28 år og fra Haninge i Sverige, og Amy er 75 og fra Broken Wheel i Iowa, USA. Efter at have skrevet sammen i to år og udvekslet tanker om primært bøger, men også om livet generelt, bestemmer Sara sig for at besøge Amy. Da hun ankommer, er Amy i mellemtiden pludselig død. Sara står nu alene i en lille flække ude i ingenting. Heldigvis føler hun, at hun kender mange af byens indbyggere fra Amys breve, og de har ikke tænkt sig at lade den forvirrede turist i stikken. Sara beslutter sig for at blive som planlagt, og for første gang oplever hun at knytte relationer og venskaber - udover dem i litteraturens verden - og hun får hjælp til at åbne en boghandel med alle Amys bøger. Både Sara og den lille by Broken Wheel liver langsomt op, nye og uventede par finder hinanden, og ingen tør tænke på, at det ikke kan vare for evigt. Da Saras turistvisum er ved at løbe ud, får hendes nye venner dog en aldeles skør, men genial idé ...
