Of Books and Bones
(2023)(The first book in the Brighton Village Cozy Mystery series)
A Novella by Sylvie Kurtz
Brighton, New Hampshire, is know for its festivals and fun...not for murder.
Ellie Hamlin is looking forward to early retirement and travel with her chief-of-police husband. Then her world turns upside down when an expansion at her sister-in-law, Page's, bookstore uncovers bones.
Ellie's daughter becomes falsely implicated in the murder, and her husband has to leave the investigating to someone else. With her daughter's freedom on the line, Ellie can't stand back. And Page, who's always wanted to sleuth, insists on tagging along.
With Ellie and Page's investigation, the number of suspects rise...and so does someone's fear of discovery.
Then a terrible accident happens, redoubling their need to find the killer.
Amid a slew of tricks and treats and things that go bump in the night, can Ellie and Page solve the crime and bring a murderer to justice before one of them becomes the next victime?
