Murder Between The Shelves: A Heartwarming Small Town Cozy Mystery

By Clay Maddox

When murder interrupts story time, Willowwood's quietest corner becomes its deadliest chapter.

Bookshop owner Tessa Brandford expected lively debates and spilled tea at her mystery-game night-not the town's most disliked property developer dead in her reading nook, crushed by a rare antique book press.

A former librarian with an eye for misplaced details and a habit of trusting people a little too easily, Tessa can't ignore the story unfolding between her shelves.

With Watson, her golden retriever sidekick, sniffing out hidden evidence and charming townsfolk into loose-lipped confessions, she follows clues that leave the grumpy small-town sheriff scowling.

A gossip-loving seamstress whose embroidery hides coded messages and a grieving antique dealer tangled in old letters quickly rise to the top of the suspect list-each with reasons to want the victim gone.

Anonymous threats, missing documents, and planted evidence turn curiosity into danger.

If Tessa doesn't solve the case soon, the killer won't stop at closing time-and Willowwood's next chapter will be written in blood.
