Murder by the Book
(2024)(The first book in the Bookstore Cozy Animal Mystery series)
A Novella by Poppy Waverly
In the quaint town of Amblewood, Booked Bliss is the heart of the community—a cozy bookstore where neighbors gather, stories come to life, and mysteries are best kept on the shelves.
But when famed author Samuel Rowley dies suddenly during the weekly book club meeting, the quiet comfort of the store is shattered. The town’s beloved barista, Eliza Harrington, can’t help but suspect there’s more to Samuel’s death than meets the eye—especially when the police suggest foul play.
With her trusty orange tabby, Agatha, by her side, and her sharp intuition honed by years of reading Agatha Christie novels, Eliza delves into the tangled lives of her book club members. Each one had a reason to despise Samuel—old grudges, buried secrets, and broken promises swirl around the mystery. But when a mysterious bracelet surfaces, Eliza realizes that the victim may have been hiding a few secrets of his own.
As Eliza sorts through cryptic clues, red herrings, and the complex dynamics of her small town, she must piece together the truth before another chapter of tragedy unfolds. Can she clear her bookstore’s name, or will the pages of Amblewood’s peaceful existence be forever stained by Samuel’s demise?
Join Eliza and Agatha in this charming cozy mystery filled with literary intrigue, quirky characters, and a cat with a knack for finding clues!
Perfect for fans of bookstore cozies, small-town mysteries, and a dash of feline intuition!
