Louise and Gareth Ward met at police school and now own the beloved Havelock North bookshop Wardinis.

A delightful mix of Diary of a Bookseller, Thursday Murder Club and Bookseller at the End of the World, their charming, cosy crime novel Bookshop Detectives follows two small-town booksellers (and their cowardly dog) as they solve a decades-old murder mystery.

Louise and Gareth join bookseller Bel Monypenny for a conversation about their book, their colourful lives past and present, and bookselling.
