A new Southern cozy mystery series with a bookshop, quirky townspeople, sweet tea, and an amateur sleuth, perfect for fans of Laura Childs.
Libby thought spring in Southport would be a breath of fresh air. A missing person was not the chapter she expected next.
Libby Page has finally found her footing in Southport. Page's Bookshop is busy, her book club, The Plot Thickens, is mid-read and life along the Cape Fear is starting to feel almost settled-until Emmerson's friend vanishes days before a major charity gala.
At first, the disappearance looks like a headline-grabbing stunt. But the more Libby and her sharp-eyed assistant, Gracie Jean, dig in, the more the fashion world's polished surface starts to crack. Between missing sketches, whispered rumors and a circle of suspects who know more than they're saying, Libby realizes the truth is being carefully edited out of the picture.
With pressure mounting and the suspect list growing, Libby must untangle the secrets behind the disappearance before the truth vanishes for good.
Shelved in Secrets is the third book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries-a coastal mystery featuring former book editor Libby Page.
Each book contains a complete mystery, but the first six books are tied together by a larger puzzle. For the full experience, read them in order. Simone Stier writes humorous cozy mystery novels featuring female amateur sleuths, small-town secrets, murder investigations and quirky communities. Set in the charming Southern towns of Magnolia Grove and Southport, her books blend coffee shop mysteries, bookish intrigue, gossip, friendship and clever whodunits with heart. Her heroines are often starting over, building new lives and uncovering trouble in places where everyone seems to know everyone-and someone is always hiding something. Simone lives in North Carolina with her husband and writing partner, Peter. Together, they create clean, fun mysteries filled with charm, community and just enough danger to keep readers turning pages.
