A Coastal Bookshop Murder

A Junie Carmichael Cozy Mystery

When snobby candle maker Darcy Bloom ends up dead outside Junie Carmichael's bookshop, all signs point to local antiques dealer Walter Fitch.

But Junie knows he's not the one with a guilty heir.

Junie came to Thistleberry Point to pack up her late aunt's bookstore-not stumble over a dead body during the Midsummer Market.

Darcy Bloom had a fake lineage, a real brooch, and a knack for making enemies.

Now she's dead, and Walter Fitch is the prime suspect. But Junie isn't buying it.

With her chatty parrot Edgar, her aunt's spirited best friend Flo, and a stong cup of local gossip, Junie digs into the tangled lies Darcy left behind.

There's Molly, the overlooked heir with a grudge, and Robert Thorne, the land-hungry opportunist. Each one has faceted motives, and Junie's determined to expose their flaws.

Time's running out. The truth is hiding behind polished emeralds and polished smiles-and if Junie doesn't crack the case, then Walter could be booked for murder.
