Treat yourself to a cozy seaside escape from a USA Today bestselling author! Bookseller and recent divorcée Max Sayers has risked her life savings to start a fresh chapter with the purchase of Seaside Cottage Books in cozy Snug Harbor, Maine. But she's barely opened the shop's doors when her new storybook life takes a dark turn. The morning after the grand opening--featuring a famous author who shows up at the store on the arm of Max's ex-husband--Max's rescue dog Winston finds a dead man on the beach behind the shop. The murder weapon? An antique flatiron doorstop... from Max's bookstore. Will Max solve the case before the murderer strikes again? Or will her bright new beginning turn into a killer of an ending? "A fabulous first book for the new Snug Harbor series. You'll be hard pressed to put it down. The characters are bright and well developed, creating an irresistible town where you will want to return again and again." -- Melissa, Amazon Reviewer "I could not put it down. I was hooked right from page #1!" -- Avid Mystery Reader "The quintessential cozy mystery." -- Trudi B., Amazon Reviewer
