The Mystery in the Margins by L.L. Gray
5.0
Harper has cherished memories of the summer she spent in her great grandmother’s bookstore, Spellbooks. Raised as an Army brat, she longs for a place to set down roots. Believing that she is the heir, she arrives in Havenwood, ready to take over upon Granny Bea’s passing. But all is not well. First, she discovers Spellbooks has been broken into and rare books have been stolen. Than she learns she must compete for ownership against a cousin she never knew, the unpleasant Thaddeus. Unsure of who to trust, she must put together a winning proposal and maybe solve the mystery of the missing books.
A terrific start to a new paranormal series. Havenwood is a magical town, with many supernatural creatures. Harper is a witch with minor elemental magic that comes in handy while sleuthing. She is a charming character, full of kindness and intelligence. Surrounding her is a delightful cast of characters - Luna, a talking rabbit & Granny Bea’s familiar, Gideon, a gargoyle and night watchman at the store, Thistle, a dryad living in the garden behind the store, Bella, her childhood friend who lives at the B&B with her parents Honey & Antonio, Grimgor, a small giant, & Finn, a Druid tattoo artist. Plenty of twists along the way as Harper puts together her plans and tries to solve the case. An even bigger surprise with how the winner is determined in the bookshop battle. Full of humor with excellent world building. I look forward to exploring more of Havenwood.
