Blurb:
An
old bookstore.
A
hidden ledger.
A
town full of secrets waiting to be unearthed…
Inheriting
my aunt’s bookstore should be quiet work—until a ledger, a coin,
and an old photo fall into my hands.
Small town. Big secrets.
I
wanted peace. I got puzzle pieces and mystery.
Rare Reads
holds stories, but Hollow Pines hides lies and scandals.
Eccentric
neighbors peer through windows – making my skin crawl.
My
partner, Tibbs, has paws, whiskers, and an appetite for
trouble.
Gossip travels faster than Tibbs can chase a moth.
Old
fires burn behind every smile, and even Deputy Eli can’t look
away.
Aunt Vera’s secrets tangle with my own, and every clue
tightens the knot.
The past is restless and demands
release.
With every page I turn, the danger grows, and I
somehow become the next chapter.
I chase answers through dust
and shadow, but something—or someone—won’t let me close the
book.
My Review:
Clara Thorne takes over her Aunt Vera’s old bookstore, but she quickly realizes that she has inherited much more. Indeed, Clara has also come into possession of the town's significant secrets, which are far from trivial. There’s something strange and suspicious happening in Hollow Pines, and Clara is just the right person to uncover what it all means. Naturally, she has a sidekick in her cat, Tibbs, who is her partner in this adventure.
Clara arrived in Hollow Pines with the intention of tidying up the bookstore and preparing it for sale, but she discovers more than mere stories. She stumbles upon a box that Vera concealed behind one of the shelves, containing secrets that someone is determined to keep hidden. How far are they willing to go to ensure the contents of that box remain a mystery?
Danger at Rare Reads serves as an excellent beginning to the new Clara Thorne Cozy Mystery Series. The mystery left me eager for more, as I wanted to uncover what Hollow Pines and its residents were concealing. Numerous twists and turns kept the narrative engaging.
I’m excited to find out what lies ahead for Clara and Tibbs. What new adventures will unfold in the next installment of the Clara Thorne Cozy Mystery Series?
Don't miss out on grabbing a copy of this delightful read, Danger at Rare Reads, to kick off what promises to be a fantastic new mystery series!
