A Victim at Valentine's by Ellie Alexander

 
A Victim at Valentine's is the fifth book in the A Secret Bookcase mystery series, and it’s an absolute treat for cozy mystery fans. Set in the charming town of Redwood Grove, Annie Murray’s Valentine’s Day takes a sinister twist when a beloved community member is found dead during a matchmaking event at her Agatha Christie-inspired bookshop.

The premise is irresistibly fun, with a bookshop-turned-detective-agency setting that feels both fresh and endearing. The romance between Annie and Liam adds a lovely layer to the story, though their Valentine’s Day plans are quickly overshadowed by the hunt for the killer.

This book works perfectly as a standalone, but after reading it, I’m eager to catch up on the rest of the series. The cozy vibes and twists, make this a mystery you won’t want to miss.
