Maggie Bell thought Fair Haven’s annual book fair would be all literary gossip, rare editions, and author autographs. But when a famous local writer turns up dead in a hotel elevator, she stumbles into a real-life whodunnit.



Otto Deitz’s explosive new novel lays bare the town’s secrets and scandals, barely disguising the real people behind them. Now, half of Fair Haven has a motive. As the suspect list grows, Maggie finds herself caught between a relentless private investigator, two twitchy bellboys, and a mystery that twists with every chapter.



Armed with nothing but her tote bag of books, her curiosity, and a serious caffeine habit, Maggie must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.



Listen to the 7th book in the bestselling Bookish Cafe Mysteries, a cozy mystery series with a dash of romance.
