Bookstore owner Tricia Miles seeks to turn a new page in her life, but murder disrupts the narrative in the latest installment of the Booktown series. Tricia and her sister, Angelica, serve as co-presidents of the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce, where tensions rise over the influx of non-book-related businesses that some believe tarnish the town's identity. Merchants are divided, with some welcoming new establishments like The Bee's Knees, while others lament the dilution of the "Booktown" brand. Amidst the discord, all business owners point fingers at Tricia and Angelica for the changes. However, the atmosphere shifts dramatically when Eli Meier, a disgruntled bookstore owner known for his vocal complaints, is found murdered. Eli, who sold a mix of spiritual and conspiracy theory books, had recently joined the Chamber at Angelica's urging, but his advances toward her were unwelcome. The new police chief, a friend of Tricia's, is determined to investigate, and he won't spare Angelica from scrutiny. As the sisters navigate the fallout from the murder, they must confront the challenges of their community and their own entangled relationships.
