The Plot Thickens: Luxe paperback edition - Paperback

by Steffanie Holmes (Author)

Heathcliff, Moriarty, and Poe's raven have a problem.

Ever since they were yanked from the pages of their respective novels by the cursed magic of Nevermore Bookshop, literature's three most infamous villains have been living their best not-so-quiet lives in the sleepy village of Argleton - drinking tea they didn't pay for, committing light recreational mischief, and absolutely not admitting they're bored out of their brilliant, brooding minds.

Then she walks in.

Mina Wilde, with her haunted eyes, punk clothes, and her bright, stubborn nature. She needs a job.

They need a distraction.

What they find instead is obsession.

Now the villains must decide what they want more: their carefully curated chaos... or the girl who makes them feel dangerously human.

Add in an overzealous Knight of the Round Table with a hero complex, a curse they don't understand, simmering jealousy, and three literary bad boys catching feelings that absolutely weren't in the manuscript, and the plot positively sizzles.

A wickedly whimsical companion to A Dead and Stormy Night, The Plot Thickens reimagines the chaos, curses, and criminal flirtation of Nevermore Bookshop from the delightfully unhinged POVs of Heathcliff, Moriarty, and everyone's favourite raven, Quoth. Because villains fall hardest.
