In the cozy town of Redwood Grove, Annie Murray's Valentine's Day plans take a sinister turn when a beloved pillar of the local community is found dead at her Agatha Christie-inspired bookshop.
As Annie assists the lead detective in unraveling the mystery, she quickly identifies a host of likely suspects - from an oddball psychic, to a professional matchmaker, to a rival bookseller - each with a worryingly plausible motive.
With her keen eye for detail, soon Annie suspects there may be connections to the decade-old tragedy of her best friend's death, which still haunts her. Putting her own Valentine's Day plans with the irresistible Liam on hold, Annie must solve the crime - before she ends up on a hot date with a killer.
This charming and utterly addictive cozy mystery will keep you guessing until the very end. Fans of Tonya Kappes, Lauren Elliott and Ellery Adams will love this murder mystery with a dash of romance.
