Murder Off the Books

About the book

Author Tess Harrow is eager to regain the trust of the Winthrop community after uncovering not one but two long-forgotten murders. Her plan to launch her new book alongside the grand opening of her bookstore offers the perfect opportunity to mingle with locals and make connections with the press.

However, on the eve of the party, Tess is surprised to find her mother has arrived, accompanied by her much younger boyfriend - who her daughter Gertrude recognizes as the infamous Levi Parker, recently linked to the deaths of three elderly widows.

Tess wastes no time in informing Sheriff Boyd about Levi's shady past, but before any action can be taken, Levi is found dead, and Tess's mother becomes the main suspect. Bernadette protests her innocence, but the mounting coincidences make her look increasingly guilty. With the entire town turning against her family, Tess must uncover the truth before it's too late.
