Blurb:
We have a body; there’s no time for cake!
Our PI Grand Opening gets put on hold when Eliza’s body was found in her bookstore, at the bottom of a spiral staircase she never used.
Police have ruled it an accident, but my instinct tells me, there’s more to this story.
With Detective Harper at my side and Biscuit, my devoted clue-sniffer, on my heels, we dig into Eliza’s life and uncover a hidden manuscript, a secret forgery business, and enough motives to fill a library.
Oliver, her assistant, has money problems and an alibi that doesn’t check out.
Theodore,
a rival bookseller, holds a decades-long grudge over her store’s
prime location.
Then,
Vivian—a disgruntled author—writes a manuscript that reads
suspiciously like our crime scene.
When
evidence disappears and someone traps me inside the burning
bookstore, I know I’m onto a
story worth killing for.
I’m being watched from the shadows, and I need to solve this cliffhanger fast—before someone writes my final chapter.
My Review:
Maggie is investigating the death of a woman who fell down the
stairs, with the help of Detective Harper and her canine friend,
Biscuit. Biscuit is a clever and stubborn little dog who doesn’t
give up when he detects a clue. He is always by Maggie’s side; he
loves finding clues and helping his human friend.
Footnotes
of a Felony pulled me deep into its world the moment I started
reading, with all its twists and turns that kept me hooked with each
page turn. I raced to the end as each clue was revealed. The mystery
and suspense kept me captivated from the very first page.
Twists
kept appearing page after page as Maggie uncovered more clues.
Maggie’s investigation revealed many suspects who had secrets and
might have wanted to silence Eliza.
As the mystery
thickened, I kept trying to understand what happened to Eliza and
why. I pondered who might have wanted to hurt her and their reasons,
or whether it was just an accident.
Footnotes of a Felony
is a delightful mystery for anyone who loves solving crimes. Grab a
copy today and help Maggie and Biscuit solve another case!
