A Book Club's Guide To Murder
(2026)(The second book in the Sugar Hollow Amateur Sleuth Society Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Nancy Robards Thompson
Bestselling author Evangeline Hart is coming home to Sugar Hollow—and people would kill to meet her.
When hometown celebrity Helen-Mae Turner, better known by her pen name, Evangeline Hart, returns to Sugar Hollow for a monthlong writer-in-residence program at The Chapter and Verse Bookshop, her book club appearance draws a standing-room-only crowd. Little does she know that a public threat during the event from a man with a very personal grudge marks the beginning of the end.
By the next morning, Helen-Mae is dead.
When the novelist’s body is discovered in the apartment above the bookshop, former forensic geneticist Hadley Bradford is drawn into a mystery that reveals the celebrated author had been keeping a lot of secrets. With old friendships fractured, hidden resentments simmering, and more than one person harboring a motive for murder, it soon becomes clear that many in Helen-Mae’s inner circle have something to hide.
As suspicion spreads through town, Hadley and the Sugar Hollow Amateur Sleuth Society are determined to uncover the truth. Separating fact from fiction won’t be easy, especially when every clue reveals another secret and each new twist in the investigation points to someone else.
With secrets lurking between the lines, Hadley must uncover the truth before a killer gets away with murder.
Welcome to Sugar Hollow… where the tea is sweet, the gossip is scalding, and murder is always checking in.
