Poetry night at Jordan & Walsh Books was supposed to feature local talent and lava lamps—not a dead body.
When Grace Jordan's Aunt Lyla transforms the bookstore into a groovy seventies wonderland for Poetry Open Mic Night, Grace expects amateur poets and questionable fashion choices. What she doesn't expect is murder. Another one.
As Grace navigates suspicious carnival performers, wounded egos, and cryptic clues hidden in poetry submissions, she discovers the victim harbored secrets that gave half the town motive for revenge. Between a harsh literary critic terrorizing aspiring writers, a sleight-of-hand artist with nimble fingers, and bookstore regulars with grudges to spare, everyone seems to be a suspect.
With Detective Sherwood under pressure from the sheriff, a mysterious Amish stranger in her yard, and a killer who seems to have disappeared into thin air, Grace must use every ounce of her analytical training to crack the case.
Because in Sweet Cove, even poetry can be lethal.
