A locked-room murder. A trail of Agatha Christie clues. And a socially awkward librarian who just might be the next target…
Gabby has spent most of her life hiding behind the stacks of the quaint Maplewood Library, preferring books to people—except for Detective Brandon, who doesn’t respect her Miss Marple-ish knowledge. When a book club member is found dead in a locked room Gabby sees her chance to impress him and shed her reputation as the town recluse. But when the police brush off the case, and a second victim turns up in a crime eerily similar to an Agatha Christie novel, Gabby and her amateur sleuthing group are convinced they have a copycat killer on their hands.
Their investigation takes a deadly turn when Gabby realizes the murders are linked to the book club’s most devout member, and her seemingly innocent gifts. As the killer closes in, Gabby finds herself trapped in the ultimate whodunit—one where she’s the next victim. Can she outwit a murderer using her literary knowledge, or will her first real case be her last?
For readers who love small-town mysteries filled with big secrets, locked-room murder puzzles with Agatha Christie vibes, and a quirky sidekick dog (because every great sleuth needs one). If a slow-burn romance between an amateur sleuth and a grumpy detective intrigues you, and you enjoy a cozy, bookish setting with a tight-knit mystery book club, this is the perfect read. Ideal for fans of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and Agatha Christie."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
