Welcome to Meadowfield Bookshop... When Ellie Swan trades the bright lights of television for the quiet shelves of Meadowfield Books, she expects fresh paint, strong coffee, and a new chapter. What she doesn't expect is a death on launch day, a missing manuscript, or her estranged father turning up in the garden at two in the morning, muttering about secrets better left untold. Fifty years ago, Sally Brown drowned in the village pond on the very same night as a bungled burglary at Meadowfield Manor. Now Sally's brother Benjamin is dead too--on the same spot, under eerily similar circumstances. And someone seems determined to pin it all on Ellie's father. As suspicion turns to scandal, Ellie must untangle a mystery knotted through decades of family feuds, lost love, and literary clues. But in a village where everyone has something to hide, uncovering the truth could prove more dangerous than any fiction. Perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Agatha Raisin , The Fatal First Draft is a warm, witty, and wickedly twisty cosy mystery that proves some endings are only the beginning.
