Synopsis

The Bookstore at Holiday Bay - where books, friends, and mysteries collide.

When Lou Prescott bought the bookstore in Holiday Bay, she dreamed of more than a charming seaside shop. She wanted a place that felt like home—a welcoming haven where friends could gather, share stories, and lean on one another through life's challenges and triumphs.

But when Lou inherits a vast collection of books from Gia, a woman she barely knew, she discovers far more than dusty shelves and forgotten titles. Hidden among the volumes are photo albums and journals that hint at a secret life no one in town ever suspected. Gia wasn't just an avid reader—she was a relentless snoop, and her carefully tucked-away notes may hold the key to solving not one, but four long-forgotten cases.

Now Lou and her friends must follow the trail Gia left behind, unraveling secrets that refuse to stay buried. The biggest mystery of all, however, may be the most personal—did Gia leave behind the one clue that could reveal her own killer?
