A seaside bookshop. A ghost with a pen. A cat who refuses to mind his own business.
Rowan Page came back to Willow Cove to do one thing... sell the bookshop her aunt left her, take the money, and disappear before the town can remember why she left in the first place.
Then the bathroom mirror starts writing messages in Aunt Oona’s unmistakable handwriting, a sea-glass cat named Moss adopts Rowan as if she were already his, and Quill and Tide Bookshop turns out to be more than dusty shelves and old books.
The Masques and Manuscripts Festival should have been an easy boost for business with a little small-town charm, a famous author headlining, and a few signed books to lure in tourists.
Instead, celebrity thriller writer Dane Ledger drops dead at his own signing table.
The police suspect poison, the town suspects Rowan, and the evidence starts piling up in a way that feels a little too perfect… right down to a threatening note written in her handwriting.
Good thing Oona left behind truth ink that can reveal what a page was meant to say... and what someone worked very hard to erase.
With a glowing cat who senses trouble before it strikes, a librarian with kind eyes and dangerous access to secrets, and a harbor town wrapped in fog and gossip, Rowan has to catch a killer before she loses her shop, her freedom, and the fragile new life she is just starting to want.
In Willow Cove, words have power, and somebody is using them like a weapon.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
