Murder and mayhem haunt four newly-opened bookstores. The mysteries enjoyed in books come to life, threatening four businesses. Amber’s new bookshop and tearoom draws rare book collectors, but when one ends up dead in the mystery section, the shop’s future is questionable. Lilly’s pirate themed bookshop fits right into Harbor Inn, Maine, but she never expected to find a young pirate dead on her shop’s floor. Abby opens Secret Passages Bookshop in a Wyoming mountain town, not realizing her historic building held a real secret passage and a missing teenager. When Kelly Stephens opens her shop Artistic Adventures next to Bayside Books and Reading Room, she witnesses a suspicious death. Can the store owners and their patrons solve the mysteries before their businesses go under?
