"Agnes Martai is a young archaeologist who moves to London in search of a new opportunity. Shortly after arriving in the city as she strolls through the Temple district, she is surprised by a sudden downpour and takes refuge in a very special bookstore: Moonlight Books. Edward Livingstone is looking for an assistant, and in the time it takes Agnes to dry off and sit down for a cup of hot tea, they both realize that it is no accident that she is the one who walked through the door at that time. As the daysgo by, Agnes starts to discover her new boss' grumpy nature, the eccentricities of her regular clientele, and the magic of this charming bookstore. Until one day, one of the most treasured books on Moonlight Books' shelves disappears and inspector John Lockwood enters the scene to take over the investigation and shake Agnes' quiet and peaceful life"-- Provided by publisher.
