In the newest installment of The Book Retreat Mystery series, Jane and Edwin head to the North Carolina coast for a much-needed vacation. They spend some time with Oyster Bay Olivia Limoges and her dog Haviland, soaking in the sunshine and enjoying Olivia’s private beach.

Things start off all wrong for the couple when they discover a grizzly surprise in their harbor-side loft; things do not improve the following day when Jane finds a body on the beach.

Edwin gets injured in a freak stingray attack, which puts a serious damper on any fun the two might have planned. Multiple mysterious deaths seem to connect Jane and Olivia to deeper secrets back home at Storyton, where Jane is working harder than ever to protect the secret library that she and her Fins have guardianship over.

If you like cozy mysteries, books scattered with recommendations and book references, strong friendships, and found family, you’ll love the Book Retreat Mystery series.

Thanks to Ellery Adams and Kensington Cozies for giving me an opportunity to read an advanced uncorrected copy of Murder in the Book Lover’s Loft.
