Charli Rae Warren doesn’t plan on striking it rich as the
owner of an independent bookstore in Hazel Rock,
Texas—especially one with a pink armadillo as its mascot.
But when an ingenious advertising campaign puts her business
on the map, it ropes in some deadly publicity . . . Charli can’t believe writer Lucy Barton has agreed to
promote her latest Midnight Poet Society novel at The Book
Barn Princess—or that there’s only a week-and-a-half to
prepare for the signing. It’s all because of The Book
Seekers, a smartphone app created by her cousin Jamal
exclusively for Charli’s bookstore, which sends fans on a
virtual scavenger hunt around town for a chance to meet the
bestselling author. But as soon as it goes live, people turn
up dead . . . Someone’s using The Book Seekers to track victims and
copycat the fictional Midnight Poet Society homicides, and
horrified locals suspect Jamal could be the mastermind
behind the crimes. While Charli readies the Barn for a
stampede of new customers, it’ll take true grit to shelve
the culprit before her brainy cousin gets locked behind
bars, Ms. Barton backs out of the visit, and she finds
herself up a creek—with a serial killer holding the paddle!
