A family Bible keeps a household's names. This one also keeps a will-and a lie.
When estate lawyer Mara Ellison carries a locked parcel into The Lantern & Quill, Charlie Vale recognizes trouble before she unwraps it. Inside is the family Bible of the late Eleanor Voss, and on its endpapers, in a younger ink than the rest, someone has added a clause that could overturn who inherits Voss House-days before the family gathers to settle the estate.
Charlie's trade is authenticity, and the book will not sit still under her hands. A leaf has been removed and returned. A page seems a little too eager to look old. And Aunt Wren, it turns out, made a quiet promise about this very family years ago.
Then, on the eve of the family conference, Mara is found dead-and the disputed page is gone. As the Voss heirs close ranks and the paper trail bends toward the people it was written to protect, Charlie must prove what is genuine and what was made to deceive, before the wrong version of the truth is the only one left.
The Lantern & Quill Mysteries, Book Five. A cozy of inheritance, forgery, and the things families write between the lines. A complete mystery you can start here.
Perfect for fans of Kate Carlisle's Bibliophile Mysteries, Jenn McKinlay's Library Lover's Mysteries, and Ellery Adams's Book Retreat Mysteries.Also from
