[Fox Lane Books 🦊 @foxlanebooks]

When Chris Chibnall’s first thriller came out, we sold LOADS and our signed copies flew out. So we ordered plenty of his new book, The Parkwood Murders (also #SIGNED) … and we haven’t sold a single one! 😮

It might have something to do with supermarkets and billionaire retailers selling it cheap as chips.

Indie bookshops simply can’t do that. We’d make no money, and eventually there’d be no indie bookshops left. Can you imagine!

£2 off is the most we can manage, but our copies ARE #SIGNED.

So please, if you can, support your indie bookshops. Use us or lose us, as they say ❤️📚

ICYMI - find out what I thought about It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell

You can't wrong with this author. I enjoyed this story of a dysfunctional family and an amateur private detective so much.
