What do we know about Bookish series 2 and who stars
From the latest press release, we learn the teaser offers a glimpse at what’s in store for Gabriel Book (Gatiss), Trottie Book (Polly Walker), Jack Blunt (Connor Finch), Inspector Bliss (Elliot Levey), Sergeant Morris (Blake Harrison) and Nora (Buket Kömür) as they solve a series of mysterious crimes in London 1946. Viewers will also meet the star-studded line up of guest stars for the second series, including Jason Watkins, Miranda Richardson, Simon Callow and Rupert Graves, alongside Claire Skinner, Youssef Kerkour, Allan Corduner, Ruth Codd and many more.
In London 1946, the appropriately named Gabriel Book opens the doors to Book’s Books on Archangel Lane for more thrilling cases for his team to solve. If his War was packed with espionage and secrets, Book’s Peace is just as full of adventure! Now he helps police solve the strangest of crimes and the knottiest of murders.
In series two, the bibliophile sleuth investigates the world of spiritualism as he helps to solve a baffling case involving medium Harold Sneed (Watkins) and a séance full of secrets. Off Savile Row, Inspector Bliss (Levey) asks Book to help in a puzzling crime at a gentleman’s outfitters – the elderly tailor Maxie Kleinmann (Corduner) is keen to confess to murder but the evidence doesn’t quite stack up and points to something much more complex and sinister. And Book and Jack are sent to the seemingly charming German village of Würl by the mysterious ‘E’ (Callow) to thwart a thieving Duchess (Richardson) at Christmas time. However, festivities take a deadly turn when Book and Jack uncover secrets of their own in a castle brimming with shady characters.
Book’s association with the police continues to be not without its personal dangers and his lavender marriage with childhood best friend Trottie, is threatened by the debonair Colonel Winters (Graves).
