Running an antiquarian bookshop in London might seem like a nice, quiet job, but bookseller Dido Hoare has had more than her share of adventures. Die Once is the next entry in Marianne MacDonald’s wonderful mystery series featuring Dido Hoare..

When Timothy Curwen’s check bounces, Dido Hoare is amazed. Curwen had been a good customer, spending freely at her antiquarian bookshop. The morning paper says that Curwen committed suicide, but the police soon suspect murder. When Dido sets out either to retrieve the book or to obtain payment of it, her quest leads her down a twisted trail of cover-up and betrayal surrounding Tim’s death.

About the Author:
Marianne Macdonald was born in Canada and lived there until the age of twenty, when she went to Oxford to do graduate work. She has lived in England ever since, pursuing an academic career nutil she retired to focus on writing and acting. Die Once is the sixth book in her Dido Hoare series.
From Booklist:
London antiquarian bookseller Dido Hoare's retired professor father, Barnabas, says of her, "Dido is extremely persistent, and rather a loose cannon," which sums up this attractive series nicely. Dido lives above her shop with her boy, Ben, and her cat, Mr. Spock. When a regular customer, Tim Curwen, is declared a suicide, and his latest check bounces, Dido is hired by his solicitors to estimate the worth of his books. But all the ones she's sold him seem to have vanished from his flat, except for the Dickens whose payment bounced. After talking with a reporter friend of Tim's and a police contact of her own, Dido learns more about her customer: Tim was gay, mixed up in the drug trade, and may have a sister. Along with her sleuthing, Dido acquires a new computer, sells some books, grabs the odd takeaway meal, and tries to keep Barnabas off her case. A few loose ends matter little, and the denouement resembles life in its untidiness. GraceAnne DeCandido
