About this listen
A missing manuscript. A dead author. And a mystery that’s anything but fiction.
When reclusive novelist Ashton Blackwood is found dead in the aisles of Shelf Indulgence, chaos erupts in the quiet town of Bloomsville. With a missing manuscript and a long list of literary enemies, the case reads like one of Blackwood’s own thrillers.
Florist-turned-sleuth Grace Thompson teams up with forensic specialist Chloe Sutton and her ever-observant Westie, Rosie, to dig through a plot tangled in ambition, betrayal, and buried secrets. From rival writers to bitter editors, the suspects are as layered as a bestseller—and just as twisty.
With Sheriff Waverly seeking their help and the danger mounting, Grace must race to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
A cozy mystery filled with charm, suspense, and one clever Westie who always finds the truth.

Story
The Heritage Hall book fair was my chance to showcase my bookbinding techniques. Instead, I become the main suspect in a murder. Paper flowers and leather bindings filled my Heritage Hall book fair booth. This was my chance to showcase traditional bookbinding techniques. Instead, I found a dead authenticator in my space. Mark Henderson, known for exposing forgeries, lay sprawled among tools stolen from my exhibit. Making me the prime suspect. Book preservation is my passion - being a murder suspect, not so much. I teamed up with Fitzgerald, my Maine Coon cat and journalist Jennifer Walsh to...

It’s a cozy mystery and so I don’t expect much. But, a cop who walks in and essentially says, let me know when you solve it? A barking dog not giving the sleuths away (are the crooks deaf??). Why is the boyfriend here?
Just…no
