A Whisker of Secret: A Dusty Quill mystery Book 1
She bought a bookstore for a fresh start. She got a mystery that could be her final chapter.
When Elara Finn is laid off from her high-tech job, her escape plan is simple: inherit her aunt's dusty old bookstore in the quaint coastal town of Sea Spray, Maine, and leave her troubles behind. But the trouble is just beginning.
On her first day, she discovers more than forgotten classics in the basement she finds the body of a wealthy property developer, Arthur Pendleton. To the local police, especially the dismissive Officer Evans, the new girl in town is the most convenient suspect. To clear her name, Elara must rely on her wits and a few unlikely allies: her inherited, slobbering Newfoundland, Barnaby; the town's eccentric historian, Aunt Bea; and her infuriatingly charming ex-boyfriend, Liam, who knows the town's secrets almost as well as he knows her heart.
Their investigation unravels a plot tied to a decades-old scandal, a missing journal filled with dangerous secrets, and a killer who is still lurking in the picturesque streets of Sea Spray. As Elara digs deeper, she realizes the charming town holds dark grudges, and the killer isn't finished yet. Someone will do anything to keep the past buried even if it means silencing the newest bookseller for good.
