When the news of her mother’s passing finally reaches her, a guilt-ridden Juli returns home ready to make amends with her past. Turning her mother’s antique store into an organic café for people and their pets seems to be the fresh start she needs. Only she doesn’t count on her old friend, Chase Hargrave, being the town Sheriff or that she’d be his number one suspect when a man turns up dead in her mother’s rose garden.

Sweethearts since childhood…

Annie and Richard shared an unparalleled love filled with tenderness, passion and joy, until the tragic day Richard crashed his rig to avoid a busload of children, and left his adoring wife pregnant and alone.

But Richard is not gone…

Jacqueline Finch is a lifelong book lover, which is why it was a literal gift from the Universe when she inherited Three Tomes Bookshop at the ripe old age of forty-eight.

But she’s had a few adjustments to make along the way, including the fact that her bookshop seems to be a haven for literary characters to come alive…and to stick their noses into things that aren’t any of their business—including Sherlock Holmes’s landlady, Mrs. Hudson, who is constantly bickering with the dour housekeeper from Rebecca, Mrs. Danvers.

And then there are the three old ladies down the street, whose resemblance to Macbeth's Witches Three cannot be ignored.

Nevertheless, Jacqueline is happy in her new life and everything seems to be going well…until she hears the ominous sound of a book falling off the shelf—which can only mean one thing: someone else has come out of a book.

One thing is certain: whoever it is, it’s going to cause a problem that Jacqueline’s got to solve if she wants her life to get back to normal.
