A killer hides in the fine print…
The night before bestselling author Marius Vale collapses mid-reading at Bottled Clues, a bottle slips through Marina Ellis’s mail slot with one word inside: DEDICATION.
When the event turns tragic, the ex–forensic linguist and bookstore owner follows a breadcrumb trail buried in books, schedules, and small-town grudges.
With steady Eddie, capable Nate, and goldie Gulliver, Marina sorts rivals from friends to learn who rewrote the evening.
Hello from the cozy corners of my imagination! If we were meeting in person, you'd probably find me offering you a slice of cake, extra frosting, because life's too short!
I craft twisty tales with quirky characters, picturesque small towns, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market. My stories blend mystery and mirth, with a dash of romance and plenty of fur-baby shenanigans.
If you like your murders with giggles, sleuths with razor-sharp wit, and surprising plot twists—dive into one of my books. Warning: may cause cravings for homemade cookies and the urge to adopt a mischievous pet.View all by Sue Hollowell
