A Room Set For Murder
(2026)(The second book in the Nora Hale Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Audrey Alden
Everyone wanted their history displayed. No one wanted the truth included.
Nora Hale, Grace Harbor’s public programs director, has one job: make the town’s newest exhibit feel welcoming.
That should be easy.
Old chairs. Family photographs. Polished keepsakes. Pretty corners of home.
But before opening night, the charm starts to crack.
A placement offends an old family. A label stirs up buried anger. A borrowed object carries a story no one wants centered.
Then the woman who made the whole exhibit shine collapses and dies.
Grace Harbor reaches for the gentlest answer.
A tragic accident. A terrible shock. Nothing more to see.
Nora doesn’t believe it.
With Piper, her fox-red tolling retriever, at her side, she follows the whispers through museum halls, inn kitchens, waterfront gossip, and old grudges dressed up as good manners.
Because the deadliest thing in Borrowed Rooms wasn’t what stood on display.
It was what almost came to light.
And someone killed to keep the room beautiful.
Genre: Mystery
