 Former criminology student/bookseller Annie Murray had dropped out of college after an old friend was murdered, and her grief became a PTSD nightmare. This has haunted her throughout the other books in the series as she made more friends and developed a working partnership in the bookstore and in investigating murders in their small town. There is a new murder for investigation, and in the dangerous course of that investigation they find answers to the murder that started the detour in Annie's life. Now Annie and Fletcher open a new PI business, Novel Detectives, in an office above the bookstore and there is the promise of a new spin-off series to enjoy.
