The Lighthouse Bookshop ★★★★

SHARON GOSLING (SIMON & SCHUSTER, £8.99)

You wouldn’t expect there to be a lighthouse just inland from the Aberdeenshire coast, or for it to contain the only bookshop for miles. Yet it does, and it is the heart of the community. So, when the Lighthouse Bookshop owner suddenly dies, you would think there would be plenty of people queuing to save it, but actually it falls to incomer Rachel. Fighting for its survival, Rachel discovers a well-kept secret, but for how long will it remain so? An atmospheric and charming read that you will get lost in.
