The Magical Bookshop: Volumes 1-3

The Magic Bookshop, Books 1-3

De: Liz Hedgecock

Narrado por: Charlie Sanderson

Books, magic, and a cat with character!

Travel to Charing Cross Road in London and join sales assistant Jemma, bookshop owner Raphael and Folio the cat in three spellbinding cozy mysteries.

Every Trick In The Book

When Jemma James takes a job at Burns Books, the second-worst secondhand bookshop in London, she finds her ambition to turn it around thwarted at every step. Raphael, the owner, is more interested in his newspaper than sales. Folio the bookshop cat has it in for Jemma, and the shop itself appears to have a mind of its own. Or is it more than that?

Gradually Jemma starts to make a difference ... and then the anonymous letters start arriving. Who is behind them, and why?

Brought to Book

Business is booming at Burns Books—so much so that Jemma and Raphael hire a new assistant. And that's when things start to go wrong.

Luke's helpful, he's knowledgeable, and the customers like him. So why is the shop up to its old tricks, and a few new ones?

Jemma and Carl take it upon themselves to investigate, and end up finding out a lot more than they bargained for. Will working at the bookshop ever be the same again?

Double Booked

Jemma's dream of running her own bookshop is becoming a nightmare. She has plenty of ideas, but her assistant Maddy is resistant to change. Come to that, so are the customers.

To distract herself, Jemma gets involved in Raphael's attempt to recruit a new member of staff—but that doesn't go entirely to plan either, as his wider team turns against him.

Can Jemma and Raphael work out what's going on and get their lives back to normal before they run out of time?

Wonderfully charming!

Surprisingly good! I REALLY wish the rest of the series (and more of Ms Hedgecock's books) were available as audio!

I truly enjoyed this story

If you enjoy books, magic, a slice of life with solving some little cases. It’s a great book to listen to when you’re seeking a smile

what's not to love!?

Honestly the only thing I am disappointed about is that all of the books are not available on here!

The growth of the main character

I loved the growth of the characters in the text. Gemma’s growth is something for others to love and appreciate. I know I do! Though the series was off to a slow start, it eventually picked up quite nicely! I highly recommend it!

Fun, magic, books, it's all here

Really enjoyed the trio of stories and the narrator. I loved Jemma and Mr Burns

charming bookshop stories

absolutely charming, with unexpected twists and turns that kept me engaged from beginning to end. The way the author weaves magic into the story feels seamless and immersive, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. The presence of a single, captivating cat adds a unique charm, bringing both mystery and warmth to the plot. Overall, these books offer a delightful blend of fantasy and surprise, making them a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone who appreciates a touch of magic in their storytelling

Delightfully magical

Love the idea, overall arc and smaller plots, concepts, all of it. Narrator gives good insight and play for all characters.

Fun Story, Horrible Narrator!

Purrfect easy story but the narrator was so distracting. She had the annoying habit of holding the last letter of the word and would actually hiss like a snake if it was an “s”. I could only listen in short bursts before I would go crazy. She also high pitched her already high voice for the main character and it could hurt when a shout was needed
