The Body in the Antique Shop
(2026)(The first book in the Books & Brew Mystery series)
A novel by Robin T Popp
Welcome to Ravenwick, where the coffee is hot, the books are vintage, and the secrets are deadly.
Jax Quill thought her biggest challenge was surviving the grand opening of Books & Brew, her new bookstore-café in the small lakeside town of Ravenwick, NY. Then her neighbor — the beloved antique dealer Harold Wilcox — turns up dead, and her quiet new life unravels fast.
The local police have their suspect: Harold's grieving widow. Case closed.
Jax isn't convinced. A former chemistry major with a mind built for breaking down problems, she can see what the police can't — the evidence doesn't add up. Fueled by her business partner Simon's espresso and her own stubborn instincts, she starts asking the questions no one else is asking.
The only thing standing in her way? Detective Nick Adams. He's sharp, he's persistent — and he's making it very hard for Jax to think straight. He also keeps telling her to leave the investigating to the professionals.
She's not listening.
If Jax can't crack the case in time, an innocent person pays the price — and the real killer walks free.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
