When Meri Sinclair inherited Dangerous Reads, she didnβt just get a bookshop. She inherited a legacy. Itβs Danger Coveβs only bookstore, and her grandmother had made sure that it's a warm and friendly places for readers of all ages.
Determined to get off on the right foot, Meri has organized a series of author readings, starting off with Cal Montague, a Danger Cove native who grew up to become a solid B-list actor, and his tell-all his memoirs, Tales I Shouldnβt Tell. Only the actor turns out to be a difficult diva, and before the inaugural event can even start, Meri finds the guest of honor in the alleyβshot dead. Turns out someone else thought Cal shouldn't be telling tales, too.
With motive and opportunity, the police have Meri in their sights. To save her business and her own skin, Meri turns to her small staff of part-time employees for help. Along with some assistance from Danger Coveβs hot new veterinarian, Meri, sets out to help the Danger Cove policeβwhether they appreciate it or notβbefore the murderer returns for a sequel.
