Murder by the Edit
(2025)(The eighth book in the Harrington Harbor Mystery series)
A novel by Blair Barrows and Corrine Winters
A buried manuscript. A borrowed name. A murder hidden beneath the red pen.
When bookstore owner Tessa Langley agrees to help curate Harrington Harbor’s newest literary exhibit, she expects misplaced commas—not a forged Hemingway diary, a tangled web of local secrets, and a dead body floating in the bait tank.
What begins as an archival oddity soon unravels into a layered mystery of stolen voices, rewritten truths, and one devastating edit too far. With her loyal spaniel Marlow at her heels and a brooding editor at her side, Tessa finds herself chasing the story no one wants told—and the killer who’s still revising.
Because in Harrington Harbor, the truth might be footnoted—but the bodies always end up in bold.
Read on for: literary forensics, small-town politics, hidden romances, forgery, found poetry, slow-burn tension, and a very good dog with a nose for plot holes.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
