A locked-room death.
A mystery-obsessed book club.
And a librarian who knows just enough about Agatha Christie to spot trouble.
When beloved Maplewood resident Janet Kessler is found dead inside her bolted bedroom-with no sign of forced entry-the police rule it natural causes. But head librarian Gabby Keats isn't convinced.
After all, her book club just finished reading A Murder Is Announced.
As the socially awkward but sharp-eyed director of Maplewood Library, Gabby prefers fictional crimes to real ones. Yet with her best friend publishing headlines about a Locked-Door Murder and the town's new detective warning her to stay out of it, Gabby finds herself drawn into a puzzle worthy of Miss Marple herself.
With the help of The Sleuths-a group of loyal retirees who treat amateur investigation as a civic duty-and her ever-curious golden doodle, Agatha, Gabby begins noticing what others overlook: subtle motives, inconvenient timing, and a grieving son eager to sell his mother's home.
In a small town where everyone knows everyone, secrets don't stay buried for long.
Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and classic Agatha Christie, Book Club Murder launches the Maplewood Mysteries series with:
- A classic locked-room puzzle
- A bookish amateur sleuth
- A charming small-town setting
- Clean content and cozy tone
- Light romantic tension
- Strong series potential
Ideal for book clubs, library mystery sections, and readers who love character-driven whodunits with warmth and wit.
