Adapted from the upcoming major U&alibi series created by Mark Gatiss

London, 1946. Gabriel Book is an erudite and unconventional London bookseller married to Trottie, the owner of the wallpaper shop next door. He is also a sleuth who uses the chaotic riches of his stock to crack the puzzling cases that come his way.

He does not work alone. Book's shop is a magnet for waifs and strays - some of whom bring mysteries of their own to his door. There's Nora, sometime bookseller and true crime enthusiast; Dog, connoisseur of ginger biscuits and then Jack, whose arrival at the shop forces Book to confront a loose end from his own past.

Clever, endearing and entertaining, Bookish is a warm-hearted and unexpected mystery, about books, murder and the secrets we all keep.

Matthew Sweet is co-writer, with Mark Gatiss, of Bookish. He presents Free Thinking on BBC Radio 4 and Sound of Cinema on BBC Radio 3. He is the author of Inventing the Victorians, Shepperton Babylon, The West End Front and Operation Chaos. His 25 years of television and radio programmes include The Culture Show, Checking into History, five series of The Philosopher's Arms and 1922: The Birth of Now, a ten-part history of modernism. He has been film critic of the Independent on Sunday, photography critic of Newsweek and fashion columnist for 1843/The Economist. His film Liberation Radio screened in the 2021 London Film Festival and at the Manzi gallery in Hanoi. In 2017 he and the baker Frances Quinn achieved a chocolate-related Guinness World record that held good until 2022, when it was broken by Ant and Dec. His crime novel The New Forest Murders and his biography The Great Dictator: The Life of Barbara Cartland are forthcoming.
