Description
Two months after solving her grandmother's murder, Lila is settling into her role as the owner of Mockingbird Books when bestselling author Victoria Sterling arrives with accusations about literary theft and stolen research materials.
When Sterling collapses at annual Mockingbird Bay Literary Festival welcome dinner after publicly threatening to expose town secrets, Lila discovers the author was investigating the same cold case that may have gotten her grandfather killed.
As festival events continue despite the murder, Lila uncovers connections between a prominent local family's multi-generational corruption, a presumed-dead woman living under a new identity, and a valuable manuscript that could change literary history. With help from eccentric assistant Violet and enthusiastic librarian Emily, Lila follows a trail of clues hidden in rare books and family journals.
When a second poisoning attempt targets Lila herself, she must work with the increasingly attentive Sheriff Cooper Reid to determine which literary rivalry turned deadly before the killer writes her out of the story permanently.
Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Emily Brewster, and Lucy Arlington, this second installment in the Mockingbird Bay Mystery series combines bookish intrigue, small-town secrets, and a developing romance that will leave readers eager for the next chapter.
