Murder by the Book




After leaving Boston to claim her inheritance of a Victorian mansion in the quaint, New England seaside village of Greyborne Harbor, Addison (Addie) Greyborne--a rare book expert and owner of rare and used bookshop Beyond the Page--turns amateur sleuth to clear her friend's name after the store is ransacked and fellow village storekeeper Blain Fielding is found dead in his office in the first installment of Lauren Elliott's new Bookstore Mystery series.

Addie Greyborne loved working with rare books at the Boston Public Library—she even got to play detective, tracking down clues about mysterious old volumes. But she didn’t expect her sleuthing skills to come in so handy in a little seaside town …
 
Addie left some painful memories behind in the big city, including the unsolved murder of her fiancé and her father’s fatal car accident. After an unexpected inheritance from a great aunt, she’s moved to a small New England town founded by her ancestors back in colonial times—and living in spacious Greyborne Manor, on a hilltop overlooking the harbor. Best of all, her aunt also left her countless first editions and other treasures—providing an inventory to start her own store.
 
But there’s trouble from day one, and not just from the grumpy woman who runs the bakery next door. A car nearly runs Addie down. Someone steals a copy of Alice in Wonderland. Then, Addie’s friend Serena, who owns a nearby tea shop, is arrested—for killing another local merchant. The police seem pretty sure they’ve got the story in hand, but Addie’s not going to let them close the book on this case without a fight …
