Shelved in Secrets
(2026)(The third book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mystery series)
A novel by Simone Stier
Libby thought spring in Southport would be a breath of fresh air. A missing person was not the chapter she expected next.
Libby Page has finally found her footing in the historic charm of Southport. Page’s Bookshop is busier than ever, her book club The Plot Thickens is mid-read and life along the Cape Fear feels close to perfect—until Emmerson’s friend vanishes days before an important charity gala.
At first, the disappearance looks like a headline-hungry stunt. But the more Libby and her sharp-eyed assistant, Gracie Jean, dig in, the more the fashion world’s polished surface starts to crack. Between missing sketches, whispered rumors and a circle of suspects who know more than they’re saying, Libby realizes the truth is being carefully edited out of the picture.
With pressure mounting from Emmerson and the suspect list growing, Libby must unravel the secrets woven through the disappearance before the truth disappears for good.
Shelved in Secrets is the third book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries—a clean coastal cozy mystery featuring former book editor Libby Page.
