From Amanda Flower—who writes the national
bestselling Amish Quilt Shop Mysteries as Isabella
Alan—comes the first in the new Magical Bookshop
Mystery series.
Rushing home to sit by her ailing grandmother’s
bedside, Violet Waverly is shocked to find Grandma Daisy the
picture of perfect health. Violet doesn’t need to read
between the lines: her grandma wants Violet back home and
working in her magical store, Charming Books. It’s
where the perfect book tends to fly off the shelf and pick
you...
Violet has every intention to hightail it back to Chicago,
but then a dead man is discovered clutching a volume of
Emily Dickinson’s poems from Grandma Daisy’s
shop. The victim is Benedict Raisin, who recently put
Grandma Daisy in his will, making her a prime suspect. Now,
with the help of a tuxedo cat named Emerson, Violet will
have to find a killer to keep Grandma from getting booked
for good…
Amanda Flower, a three-time Agatha Award-nominated mystery author, started her writing career in elementary school when she read a story she wrote to her sixth grade class and had the class in stitches with her description of being stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel. She knew at that moment she’d found her calling of making people laugh with her words. She also writes mysteries as national bestselling author Isabella Alan. In addition to being an author, Amanda is a librarian in Northeast Ohio.
