Deadline at the Bookshop Café
A Cozy Mystery with Writerly Secrets, Small-Town Gossip, and One Dead CriticBy Imad Muratspahic
Length1h 25m
About this audiobook
When a sharp-tongued book critic is found dead in a quiet small-town bookshop café, the story spreads faster than the morning gossip.
The café was supposed to be a place for coffee, books, and harmless literary secrets. But behind the shelves and polite smiles, old rivalries, hidden manuscripts, and wounded pride have been waiting for the right moment to surface. Everyone has a theory. Everyone has something to protect. And someone in town knows exactly how the critic’s final chapter ended.
Deadline at the Bookshop Café is a cozy mystery filled with writerly secrets, small-town gossip, and a suspicious death that turns a beloved café into the center of an investigation. As clues pile up and alibis begin to crack, the truth proves harder to shelve than anyone expected.
