Ellie Harper: Lessons and Lies

By Paul McGowan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The most fun I've had with a whodunit in years-Ellie Harper is sharp, funny, and utterly irresistible."

In historic Concord, Massachusetts, Ellie Harper has crafted a peaceful new life-running her beloved bookshop, leading the quirky Gumshoe Gang mystery club, and tolerating (barely) her black cat Agatha's royal demands. But when Ellie's mentor, Professor Arthur Pearson, suddenly collapses during their weekly meeting, her world of fiction collides with a very real murder.

The police write it off as natural causes. Ellie knows better.

With her encyclopedic knowledge of mystery fiction, the loyal (if chaotic) Gumshoe Gang, and Agatha's uncanny knack for sniffing out trouble, Ellie begins to peel back layers of academic deceit at Bellingham University. Rivalries, secrets, and a decades-old betrayal emerge-one someone is still willing to kill for.

"Lessons and Lies" launches the Ellie Harper Mystery Series with charm, suspense, and heart-perfect for fans of clever sleuths, cozy bookstores, and small-town secrets that refuse to stay buried.
