Murder strikes when banned books, secret journals, and a suspiciously theatrical killer collide.
Virginia Varnell never meant to become a local celebrity—especially not for accidentally inspiring a murder. But when the town’s most hated book-banning activist is found dead under dramatic circumstances, all signs point to the victim’s last read: V’s own banned journal.
Now the macabre librarian of Ravenswood is caught in the middle of a literary scandal with blood on its pages. The killer is mimicking scenes from V’s old entries—and they’re only getting bolder. As public suspicion grows and copycat crimes escalate, V must team up with the frustratingly unreadable Detective Alex Stone before her private scribbles become someone else’s script for murder.
The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a chilling truth: someone’s been watching her words for years… and they’re ready to turn the final page.
Perfect for fans of quirky cozies with bite, bookish sleuths, and a slow-burn detective partnership that simmers beneath the surface.
Genre: Mystery
