Prose and Cons: An Inkwell & Whiskers Cozy Mystery (Book 3) - Softcover
Book 3 of 8: Inkwell & Whiskers
Synopsis
A visiting rare-book expert lay dead at the foot of a library ladder. Someone had taken out the pin that held it steady.
It was March, and the Hargrove Journals exhibition at the Thornhaven library had just opened. The show is built around the Hargrove family's journals and letters from the 1800s. Black tie. Champagne. Beside the journals, under glass, sit six of Cecily Marsh's twelve hand-painted silk bookmarks.
The dead woman is Helena Mercer, Saturday's speaker and a dealer Nora Blackwell liked. She is found in the library's special collection room. Helena should never have been in that room at all.
Nora chairs the exhibition's host committee. One look at the empty slot where the pin should be, and she knows this was no accident. She doesn't know yet that Helena came north to expose a scheme to sell fakes. Or that Helena stumbled onto something much older.
That something is a secret code. Cecily Marsh painted it into twelve silk bookmarks more than a century ago. Six of those bookmarks are now in the library's case. Another has been hidden in the back room of Nora's bookshop for decades. The twelfth — the key to the whole code — is missing. Nora is starting to understand that the code points to a secret. The Marsh family has kept it for a hundred years.
Nora's cat, Marlowe, finds the hidden bookmark first. And his nose catches a fake that looks perfect to the eye.
Prose and Cons is the third book in the Inkwell & Whiskers series.
A feel-good cozy mystery with characters you'll love and a case you'll want to solve. A gentle romance in the background, nothing graphic.
Available in Kindle Unlimited, ebook, and paperback. All 8 books in the Inkwell & Whiskers series are available now.
