Death in the Errata

By Lisa Talcott

A corrected mistake. A buried name. A murder hidden in the proof. When a small private press collection arrives at Blackthorn Books, Clara Whitmore expects old paper, quiet value, and the usual village history wrapped in dust. Then Ned finds an errata slip tucked inside a slim Bellthorpe volume. The correction looks harmless until Clara notices the date. Someone corrected a name before anyone should have known it needed correcting. What begins as a printing oddity soon leads Clara into the lost records of Ashcombe Press, where proof pages, subscriber lists, printer's waste, and corrected galleys point toward a family secret polished clean for public display. When retired printer Edwin Prowse is found dead in his old workshop, the error becomes evidence. In the quiet English village of Bellthorpe, old books still know what respectable people tried to remove. Death in the Errata is a polished bookshop cozy mystery for readers who love rare books, English village secrets, amateur sleuths, private libraries, old records, and murder beneath respectability.
