Wer länger liest, ist später tot (Ein Pippa-Bolle-Krimi 9)

Read or die, that's the question here. Pippa oversees a secluded book house located on the English south coast, where a reading festival is to be held. However, the romance novelist Julia Timmings, who was booked for the event, is attacked and severely beaten. Her ex-husband and thriller author Jem steps in for her, but he is classified as violent due to his hardboiled books. Soon, rumors begin to circulate: Did he eliminate Julia to take her place at the popular festival? He becomes a suspect, but Pippa Bolle suspects that the case is not so straightforward. Are you still reading, or are you already dying?
