Welcome to Brighton Hills—where a bookshop’s grand anniversary turns deadly!
Librarian-turned-sleuth Isabella Brookstone arrives in Brighton Hills to help her childhood friend celebrate her bookshop’s anniversary. But when notorious rare book expert Professor Nigel Greaves is found dead among the stacks, her bestie becomes the prime suspect.
Determined to clear her friend’s name, Isabella—alongside her mischievous cat, Whiskers, and gruff but dependable cop, Jack Larson—digs into the professor’s tangled past. He had no shortage of enemies: a ruthless antiques dealer, an accountant with shadow ledgers and a gray-coated investigator who knows more than she’s saying.
As warnings and threats escalate, Isabella realizes this isn’t just about one murder—the professor discovered something worth killing for. With the killer closing in, Isabella must unmask the culprit before she becomes the next victim.
