A Mysterious Mix Up: A bookish small town whodunit

Murder is long overdue at the Rushing Creek Public Library… and literary agent Allie Cobb is about to check out a killer.

Fresh from a national book conference, Allie comes home to find beloved town librarian—and lifelong role model—Vicky Napier poisoned on the library floor on the eve of her retirement.

It's not long before suspects stack up: a handyman with an obsessive crush, a hot-tempered wood carver, and even Allie’s boyfriend, Brent, now a prime candidate to be the next librarian.

To clear his name and catch a killer, Allie must solve a bookish whodunit—where every chapter could be her last—before someone writes her final epitaph.

Full of humour, heart, and small-town charm, this Midwest cozy mystery is perfect for fans of E. C. Nevin, Anthony Horowitz, and Katarina Bivald.
