Silenced at the Book Show

By Kim Griswell

A booksellers conference in the charming town of Seaside promises the perfect mix of business and pleasure for Saffi Graywood. She'll deliver a keynote speech, sign copies of her latest Bedside Reader and enjoy a romantic getaway on the windswept Oregon coast with her favourite fisherman from Last Chance Cove.

But Saffi's bookish weekend gets an unwanted plot twist when her obsessive online stalker shows up at the convention threatening to destroy her career. By morning, a body is discovered strangled with fairy lights in a Surrey cycle near the hotel-and Saffi's editor is arrested for murder. Poppy has always been a killer when it comes to perfecting prose, but is she capable of actual murder?

Determined to clear her editor's name, Saffi uncovers connections between the killing and a decades-old disappearance that powerful locals have buried deep. Between sipping Mexi-mochas at quirky coffeehouses and decoding clues hidden in a self-published memoir, Saffi races against time as a bomb cyclone barrels toward shore. Trapped in a town where carousels spin, painted beach stones hold secrets and friendly faces conceal deadly intentions, can Saffi unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim silenced in Seaside?

Silenced in Seaside is the third book in the atmospheric Pacific Northwest Cozy Mystery series. Perfect for fans of Lauren Elliott, Merryn Allingham and readers who crave their mysteries with crashing waves, vintage RV charm and enough dark chocolate truffles to fuel a dangerous investigation.
