In a quiet Cotswold village, some books refuse to keep their endings to themselves.
When former rare-books librarian Elowen Vale inherits her late aunt's failing bookshop, she expects dust, debts and difficult memories. She does not expect a final page to appear overnight in a book that has been closed for fifty years.
By morning, the village council chair is dead behind the church hall, the future of Wrenwick's beloved reading room is in doubt, and everyone seems to have a reason for keeping quiet.
As more impossible pages appear, Elowen discovers that The Last Chapter has always known when a story is unfinished. But the bookshop does not hand her answers. It gives her clues: a missing key, a line from a forgotten letter, a photograph someone tried to erase.
With the help of a sharp-tongued cafe owner, a retired police archivist and a detective who would rather she stayed out of it, Elowen must read between the lines before the wrong ending becomes permanent.
The Bookshop of Borrowed Endings is a warm Cotswold cozy mystery with a touch of magical realism, perfect for readers who enjoy village secrets, amateur sleuths, bookish settings and mysteries with heart.
