SYNOPSIS

The smell drifting up from the floorboards was not part of the rental agreement.

Emma Lang thought she’d found her rhythm—managing a coastal resort, helping at her grandma’s bookshop, and enjoying the company of her close-knit roommates. But when the group discovers a handyman murdered in the basement of the rental next door, everything unravels.

Detective Beltz arrives on the scene with a scowl and a warning for no meddling! But with Grandma Dorothy’s wisdom leading the charge, they’re not about to sit this mystery out.

Soon, mistrust falls on Bryce Layton, a competitive ax-thrower with a shady past. Their neighbor, Ginger Mullens, an avant-gardener, wears suspiciously red sneakers and gives evasive answers.

Meanwhile, a wedding is rushed before the bride’s father is deployed, and tension builds within the planning. Strange noises erupt beneath the bookshop—footsteps, whispers, and evidence of long-buried crimes.

Jewelry legends and secrets swirl, but Emma’s not backing down.

When her best friend Zac is swept away, Emma must act fast because she’s left to face the killer on her own. Armed with only grit and determination, she needs to de-escalate the situation before they take another life!

REVIEW

As with other books in the series, the characters and storyline are fun & engaging. Murder Beneath the Bookshop has the added dimension of hidden underground tunnels.

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
