Posthumous Plots: A Blue Ridge Bookshop Cozy Mystery

A celebrated mystery writer dies in the middle of her own book signing. Days later, the story she never finished begins arriving by post.

Twin sisters Evie and Clara Whitmore know every creaking floorboard, crooked shelf, and forgotten corner of Twice-Told Books. But when beloved local author Winifred “Freddie” Crane suddenly collapses during a reading, their familiar bookshop becomes the scene of a death everyone is eager to call natural.

Then the first package arrives.

Inside are pages from an unpublished manuscript, typed in Freddie’s unmistakable voice and filled with coded names, poisonous plants, forged documents, and clues pointing toward a secret Harrow’s Bend has protected for decades.
