Books, seashore roses… and our bodies.
Bookseller and up to date divorcée Max Sayers has risked her life financial savings to begin a recent chapter with the acquisition of Seaside Cottage Books in cozy Cosy Harbor, Maine. However she’s barely opened the store’s doorways when her new storybook life takes a darkish flip. The morning after the grand opening–featuring a well-known writer who reveals up on the retailer on the arm of Max’s ex-husband–Max’s rescue canine Winston finds a useless man on the seashore behind the store. The homicide weapon? An vintage flatiron doorstop… from Max’s bookstore.
Will Max clear up the case earlier than the assassin strikes once more?
Or will her vivid new starting flip right into a killer of an ending?
