Richard King spent decades running Paragraphe Bookstore in Montreal before he started writing fiction in his sixties. The bookshop, which he co-founded, gave him a front-row seat to the book world and a deep appreciation for mystery writing, particularly the classic whodunit style of Agatha Christie and M.C. Beaton.
His Book Shop Mysteries series draws directly on that experience, following Sam Wiseman, a Montreal bookshop owner who gets pulled into murder investigations. King published three books in the series between 2016 and 2018.
