A Fatal Footnote: A Maplewood Hollow Cozy Mystery
A careful man kept a careful record. Someone made sure no one ever read it.
Bookshop owner Claire Beaumont has finally learned to leave the past alone - until a dead archivist's last papers arrive at her door, pointing to a small-town librarian who died of "a heart" in 1987 and was never once questioned.
Walter Asher spent twenty-six years making the Maplewood Hollow library the most trustworthy place in town. The record he left behind has never once been wrong. So why does the last entry, in a hand that isn't his, hide a book that was never returned?
To find out, Claire will have to read her town the way she reads a document: closely, patiently, and against the grain. But in Maplewood Hollow, an old record is only ever a hiding place, and the one person who can still open it may be the last person who wants to.
With a nosy orange tabby named Sherlock at her side - a cat who has solved every case first and never once taken the credit - Claire follows a trail of margins, plaques, and footnotes toward a truth the town agreed, decades ago, not to notice.
Everyone remembers how he died. No one remembers what he was reading.
The Maplewood Hollow Cozy Mysteries - warm-hearted small-town mysteries, and the cat who solves them first.
Read them in any order. Claire and Sherlock never mind a late reader.
