Publisher's summary

She can write the perfect murder mystery... But can she solve one in real life?

Meet Jen Dawson, mystery writer, coffee lover, and amateur detective?

Crime writer Jen returns to her small hometown with a bestselling book behind her and a bad case of writer’s block. Finding sanctuary in the local bookstore, with an endless supply of coffee, Jen waits impatiently for inspiration to strike.

But when the owner of the bookstore dies suddenly in mysterious circumstances, Jen has a real-life murder to solve.

The stakes are suddenly higher when evidence places Jen at the scene of the crime and the reading of the will names her as the new owner of the bookstore...

Can she crack the case and clear her name, before the killer strikes again?

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Lauren Elliott and Ellery Adams, this is an absolutely gripping cozy crime series that will have you hooked from the very first page.

Annoying

Narrator is annoying. Protagonist is unlikable. The similes are the most ridiculous ever (as a lactating wolf). It could have been so much better.

Very teenage-ish …

If you like listening to a teenage novel … you might enjoy it. But for me …. This audio book is a DUD!!!!

Good start to a new series

Enjoyed this book. Looking forward to more in the series. Fun main character with interesting supporting characters. The culprit was a little easy to spot.

A bit obvious

I appreciated the little details like the Pat Benatar T-shirt, working in Stephen King’s ‘On Writing’, and the character’s complex relationship with her mother, but I knew who it was as soon as she described them and then the rest of it sort of felt a little two dimensional.

not for me

I didn't connect with the characters. The pace was too slow. I started to skip ahead to move the story along. Then, I lost interest in the story.
