Where the dead come to read.
Lenora Bell has spent eleven years trying to forget her mysterious great-aunt.
Then, three days after the funeral, a letter arrives.
Inside is an inheritance she never expected: an old bookshop in the remote village of Bellwick, along with three unsettling instructions:
Keep the shop open.
Do not sell it.
And never close the doors after midnight.
Lenora arrives expecting dusty shelves and a forgotten family business.
Instead, she finds a cup of freshly made tea in an apparently abandoned shop, a mysterious undertaker named Rowan Blackwood, and a book that seems to know things no book should know.
Then, at midnight, someone knocks from inside the shop.
The visitor is Professor Elias Wren.
He has been dead for twenty-three years.
And he believes he was murdered.
As Lenora begins investigating Wren's death, she discovers that the Bell & Book is far more than an old bookstore. For generations, her family has guarded a mysterious boundary between the living and the dead-and someone is determined to break it.
But the deeper Lenora digs, the more disturbing the secrets become.
Her mother's ghost returns with a warning.
Her great-aunt left behind a hidden book.
A missing page may hold the truth about a decades-old murder.
And somewhere beneath Bellwick, something is waiting for the Bell family to return.
Now Lenora must uncover what happened twenty-three years ago before another death is written into the Bell & Book.
Because in Bellwick, the dead have memories.
The books remember them.
And some secrets refuse to stay buried.
THE BELL & BOOK is Book One of The Bell & Book Mysteries, an atmospheric paranormal mystery series featuring ghosts, secret histories, a mysterious bookshop, family secrets, and a decades-old murder that refuses to remain forgotten
