The Key in the Book

A cosy small-town mystery, a graded reader for adult learners of English at A2 ("false beginner").

Listen to the complete novel, narrated in British English, with the option to follow the text on screen.

Ben Ashby, an English bookseller, arrives in the small town of Larkin, Vermont, to look after an old bookshop. On his first day, a book falls from the top shelf. Someone has cut a hole in its pages, and inside the hole there is a small, rusty key.

What does it open? And who hid it there?
