Publishable By Death

A quaint bookshop, a small-town murder, and a brand-new amateur sleuth-what could possibly go wrong? Harvey Beckett dreamed of opening a cozy bookstore in the charming town of St. Marin's, where the biggest drama would be late book returns. But when she stumbles over a dead body in her storeroom-none other than the town's most nosy and unpopular reporter-her fresh start takes a deadly turn. Her grand opening is overshadowed by whispers of murder, and Harvey is suddenly at the center of small-town intrigue. With her faithful hound, Mayhem, by her side and her aloof cat, Aslan, watching from a safe distance, she's determined to clear her name and uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs into the town's secrets, the more dangerous the game becomes. Someone in St. Marin's wants to keep the past buried-at any cost. Can Harvey solve the mystery before the killer closes the book on her for good? Publishable by Death is the first book in The St. Marin's Cozy Mystery series, a charming mystery collection filled with books, quirky characters, and plenty of small-town secrets. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for St. Marin's Cozy Mystery Series ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am ready to move to St. Marin's and be part of the IN group. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This charming story includes murder, a collection of friends, a new bookshop in an historical building that used to be a gas station. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the start the author has your attention and builds on the storyline very well. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small town, a new book store, and murder… ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really appreciate the way the author wove history into her setting.
