Beyond the Page Bookstore #07: To the Tome of Murder

- Blurb -

Three weeks before Thanksgiving, bookshop owner Addie Greyborne already has a full plate--and a killer on her case. . . Addie' s determined to turn a seemingly ordinary November in coastal Greyborne Harbor into one for the books. The windows of her shop display carefully curated works by American writers, including a rare selection of traditional holiday recipes from the influential 19th-century publication Godey' s LadiesMagazine. And then there' s the town' s Civil War-era themed cooking and baking competition, with a hefty cash prize and free publicity going to the winning dish. . . But when she finds her cousin' s boyfriend murdered, a stunned Addie reluctantly realizes she may be the only person who can blow the cover off a grisly crime. With so many unanswered questions surrounding the victim' s death, Addie must figure out the strange connection between a mysterious vintage briefcase, the disappearance of a first edition copy of Sarah Josepha Hale' s famous nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and a dangerously well-read culprit. . .
