The Missing Manuscript Murder

A Grace Thompson Cozy Mystery Book 1

By: Ginger Ellington

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A missing manuscript. A dead author. And a mystery that’s anything but fiction.

When reclusive novelist Ashton Blackwood is found dead in the aisles of Shelf Indulgence, chaos erupts in the quiet town of Bloomsville. With a missing manuscript and a long list of literary enemies, the case reads like one of Blackwood’s own thrillers.

Florist-turned-sleuth Grace Thompson teams up with forensic specialist Chloe Sutton and her ever-observant Westie, Rosie, to dig through a plot tangled in ambition, betrayal, and buried secrets. From rival writers to bitter editors, the suspects are as layered as a bestseller—and just as twisty.

With Sheriff Waverly seeking their help and the danger mounting, Grace must race to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

A cozy mystery filled with charm, suspense, and one clever Westie who always finds the truth. This newly revised edition includes expanded scenes and an epilogue that sets the stage for Grace and Chloe’s detective agency.

Virtual Voice isn’t so bad

It says something when the virtual voice is not the worst thing about a book.

It’s a cozy mystery and so I don’t expect much. But, a cop who walks in and essentially says, let me know when you solve it? A barking dog not giving the sleuths away (are the crooks deaf??). Why is the boyfriend here?

Just…no
