From the national bestselling author of the Amish Quilt Shop Mysteries comes the first charming caper in the 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...

      Violet Waverly drives through the night from Chicago to reach her ailing grandmother in the tiny town of Cascade Springs, near Niagara Falls, NY. Grandma Daisy, who is actually fit as a fiddle, wants Violet to assume her responsibilities as caretaker of her magical bookstore, Charming Books. Violet has no intention of staying, but then her grandmother is suspected in the murder of Benedict Raisin, whose corpse was found with a title from her shop. Of course, two handsome men--the police chief and the mayor--vying for Violet's attention has no influence on her decision. VERDICT Flower, who also writes the "Amish Quilt Shop" stories as Isabella Allen, launches a delightful new cozy series populated with fun and quirky characters. This first adventure promises pleasures to come and is sure to please devotees of Victoria Laurie, Shirley Damsgaard, or E.J. Copperman.
