Stacked in Suspicion
(2026)(The first book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mystery series)
A novel by Simone Stier
Libby wanted to start a new chapter. A murder in her garden rewrote the whole story.
Former New York book editor Libby Page came back to Southport for a fresh start and a dream of opening Page’s Bookshop. But during her grand opening garden party, the celebration turns deadly when a local resident collapses in her garden.
With customers scattering and gossip spreading fast, Libby teams up with her observant assistant, Gracie Jean, her new book club The Plot Thickens and her opinionated calico kitten, Cali, to hunt for answers. Somewhere in Southport is the victim’s missing red notebook—packed with secrets someone would kill to keep buried.
As suspicion closes in, Libby realizes solving the case may be the only way to protect the fresh start she came home to build. But with a yard full of suspects and Detective Carter McCrae warning her to stay out of it, finding the truth may be the only way to save Page’s Bookshop.
Stacked in Suspicion is the first book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries—a coastal mystery featuring former book editor Libby Page.
Each book contains a complete mystery, but the first six books are tied together by a larger puzzle. For the full experience, read them in order.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
