Violet has inherited a magical bookshop. The birch tree in the bookstore is hundreds of years old. It takes special water every two days to keep it alive. She has a cat and crow for company in the shop.
Crooked Lane Books and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published on January 11th, 2022.
Books fly in this magical shop, and it picks out the books it knows the customer will like. That helps sales.
It also sends Walden Pond reprints to Violet with a message on the page referenced. Then a woman comes in with a first printing of Waldon Pond and the author's autograph. She wants lots of moey for it and Violet hesitates and asks for more time to think it over. She takes her book and leaves.
The next time Violet sees her she's in the river, dead. Then she meets a lady that thinks she's purchased the book. She tells her no. The lady thinks she's a relative of the author. He never married so it's doubtful.
Violet and the police chief get married but they don't get to go on their honeymoon. Another bookseller is dead.
I liked the magical portion of the book and the killer was not who I suspected. Read it and see if you get it right.
