A book launch. A dead guest speaker. And three mystery authors with murder on the brain.
When a famous true crime author arrives in Maplewood to promote her latest bestseller, the book club rolls out the red carpet—until she drops dead mid-event, and all signs point to foul play.
As if that weren’t enough, local mystery author James is fuming over being upstaged, Owen is glowing from his first book release, and the tension between them is thicker than the whipped topping at The Tasty Burger. Between bruised egos, clashing alibis, and a dose of literary sabotage, Gabby finds herself sorting through more plot twists than a mystery novel draft.
Now, the Sleuths must untangle a killer’s motive—before someone else becomes a footnote in Maplewood’s bookish history.
Filled with small-town secrets, a bookish sleuth and her loyal golden doodle sidekick, slow-burn romance, locked-room intrigue, and a quirky cast of amateur detectives, Fatal Footnote is perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and Agatha Christie.

And a murder that turns a literary celebration into a crime scene.When a bestselling true crime writer arrives in Maplewood to promote her latest book, the event promises record attendance at the town library. But the evening takes a shocking turn when the guest of honor collapses mid-presentation-and evidence suggests her death was no accident.Head librarian Gabby Keats has seen plenty of fictional murders. Real ones are another matter.With three mystery authors in attendance-one resentful, one newly successful, and one determined to protect a reputation decades in the making-professional jealousy quickly becomes motive. Add in small-town rivalries, literary secrets, and a detective who would prefer Gabby stay out of the investigation, and Maplewood's quiet charm begins to fray at the edges.Supported by The Sleuths-a loyal group of retirees who treat amateur detection as civic service-and her observant golden doodle, Agatha, Gabby begins connecting details others overlook. Because in a town built on stories, not every narrative is true.Blending classic puzzle elements with small-town warmth, Fatal Footnote continues the Maplewood Mysteries series with:A traditional whodunit structureA bookish amateur sleuthA library-centered settingClean, cozy toneLight romantic tensionStrong series and book club appealIdeal for readers who enjoy character-driven cozy mysteries in the tradition of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and Agatha Christie, this second installment offers another clever, circulation-friendly mystery set in the heart of Maplewood.
