A book launch. A dead guest speaker. And three mystery authors with murder on the brain.

When a famous true crime author arrives in Maplewood to promote her latest bestseller, the book club rolls out the red carpet—until she drops dead mid-event, and all signs point to foul play.

As if that weren’t enough, local mystery author James is fuming over being upstaged, Owen is glowing from his first book release, and the tension between them is thicker than the whipped topping at The Tasty Burger. Between bruised egos, clashing alibis, and a dose of literary sabotage, Gabby finds herself sorting through more plot twists than a mystery novel draft.

Now, the Sleuths must untangle a killer’s motive—before someone else becomes a footnote in Maplewood’s bookish history.

Filled with small-town secrets, a bookish sleuth and her loyal golden doodle sidekick, slow-burn romance, locked-room intrigue, and a quirky cast of amateur detectives, Fatal Footnote is perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and Agatha Christie.
