The Final Clue
(2025)(The sixth book in the Sylvia Quille Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple and Tabitha Thompson
Sometimes the most dangerous stories are the ones we tell ourselves.
Bestselling mystery author Sylvia Quill never expected to become a real-life sleuth. But when a local bookseller is found murdered—staged exactly like a scene from her latest novel—fiction and reality begin to blur in the seaside town of Briarwood Cove.
As more crimes mirroring her books occur, Sylvia realizes this isn't just a coincidence. Someone is using her mysteries as murderous inspiration. When threatening notes arrive and her manuscript disappears, it becomes clear: the killer isn't just recreating her stories—they're sending her a message.
With her loyal friends—café owner Mari Chen and tech-savvy nephew Leo—by her side, Sylvia must untangle a web of literary obsession, long-buried secrets, and personal vendettas before the final chapter is written in blood.
Could an obsessive fan be bringing her fiction to life? Is someone trying to frame her? Or is there something in her books—something she wrote without realizing—that someone would kill to keep hidden?
In this thrilling conclusion to the beloved Sylvia Quill Mystery series, our favorite amateur detective must solve the most personal case of her career. Because this time, she's not just investigating a mystery—she's at the heart of it.
The Final Clue delivers everything cozy mystery fans love: a picturesque small-town setting, a writer-turned-sleuth with a knack for being in the wrong place at the right time, and a puzzle where the deadliest clues might be hidden in plain sight—on the pages of Sylvia's own books.
