Not everything in the library is safe to read ...

Travelling librarian Lucy Leaf has a life most people would envy – a cosy home, a job she loves, and an adorable rescue dog, Montgomery. But when her friend Alison is arrested for the murder of local botanist Jeremy Barnes, Lucy’s quiet life is turned upside down.

When a second body is found in Jeremy’s house, the police refuse to link the two cases, leaving Lucy no choice but to prove Alison’s innocence by herself.

With Montgomery by her side and a trail of cryptic clues to follow, Lucy soon realises the truth is far more tangled than anyone suspects. No one is quite who they seem, and anyone on the local gardening committee could be hiding deadly motives.

Can she uncover the truth before the real culprit strikes again – or will Alison take the fall?

The Mystery of the Fatal Footnotes is the first book in the Bookmobile Mysteries – perfect for fans of cosy village crime, clever sleuthing, and animal-friendly whodunnits.
