The Case of the Travelling Books

You've found one of our books!

If there's a little black cat stamp inside your book, it's been on an adventure. Welcome, sleuth.

Every month I pick a cozy mystery from a charity shop and send it to one of our readers, with a note asking them to pass it on when they're done. Somewhere along the way, this one found its way to you.

Help us track its travels

  1. Snap a photo of the book, and the stamp if you can.
  2. Tell us where you found it: which charity shop, car boot sale or little free library, and roughly where.
  3. Send it to us and we'll share its journey on our Facebook and Pinterest.
Email us your photo

By sending us your photo, you're happy for us to share it. We'll only ever mention your first name and the town or shop, never anything more.

When you've solved it, please pass it on again, so the next sleuth can enjoy it too.

And if you'd like a chance at the next one, every month we give away a new charity shop find to one of our UK readers.
