This week, our lovely duty manager Alex is reading Robert Jackson Bennett’s ‘Trade of Blood’ 🩸✨⚔️

The heir to one of the Empire’s most powerful families sits in jail, accused of murder. His hands are covered in the victim’s blood, and he can neither deny his guilt nor explain his actions. 🔎

But if the great detective Ana Dolabra cannot save him from the noose, the farming canton of Sapirdad will explode into war, threatening to plunge the whole Empire into starvation and chaos. 🤯

As Ana investigates—her assistant Dinios Kol, as ever, acting as her eyes and ears—she fears her task is even more daunting than it seemed. For this murder is just the latest in a deeper, subtler web of death, woven by a mastermind with an ancient weapon at his disposal.🕸️😬

‘Trade of Blood’ is the third book in the Ana and Din Mysteries fantasy series which Alex unfortunately read first but highly recommends!❣️
