In this Bibliophile Mystery from the New York
Times bestselling author of Books of a Feather,
San Francisco bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright stumbles
through the looking glass in a tale of murder, rare books,
and a quest for the perfect pie… Brooklyn's oh-so-proper future in-laws are traveling from
England to meet her, and if that's not enough to set her on
edge, rumors abound that the charming Courtyard shops across
the street may be replaced by high-rise apartments. Their
trendy neighborhood will be ruined unless Brooklyn and her
fiancé, Derek Stone, can persuade the shopkeepers not to sell. But with a rare edition of Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland causing bad blood at the Brothers Bookshop
and a string of petty vandalism making everyone nervous,
Brooklyn and Derek feel like they're attempting six
impossible things before breakfast. Then the owner of the
Rabbit Hole juice bar is felled by his own heavy shelves,
and the local cobbler lies dead beside him. An accident . .
. or something more sinister? Things get curiouser and
curiouser when a second priceless copy of Alice is
discovered. Will it stir up more trouble within the
close-knit community? As the Brits descend, Brooklyn learns they're not so stuffy
after all. Derek's dad is won over with chocolate cream pie,
and his psychic mum would kill to help Brooklyn solve
this murder—before another victim takes a tumble.
