A novel by ACF Bookens
A Deadly Chapter in St. Marin's
Change is hard in a small Southern town, especially when it comes with a side of murder.
Harvey Beckett's dream of running a quaint bookshop in the waterside town of St. Marin's takes a dark turn when she discovers a body in her storeroom. The victim? The community's prickly reporter, known for unearthing the town's secrets.
As the newest resident, Harvey finds herself thrust into a web of small-town intrigue and long-buried resentments. With her grand opening overshadowed by whispers of murder, she reluctantly dons the hat of amateur sleuth. Accompanied by her loyal hound Mayhem and watched from afar by her aloof cat Aslan, Harvey delves into St. Marin's hidden past.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her new life becomes. Each clue she uncovers puts her in greater peril, and soon the killer sets their sights on her. Can this book-loving newcomer crack the case before she becomes the next victim? Or will her final chapter be written in blood, ending her dream of a fresh start in this seemingly idyllic town?
