When the Cade family arrives in Hawthorne Corner for a glamorous rare book signing at Whispering Pages Bookstore, publisher Bennar Cade expects a weekend filled with literary egos, awkward publicity photos, and one impossible bestselling author.
Instead, Lenora Vane ends up dead.
Hours before the author's body is discovered outside the bookstore, witnesses overhear a vicious argument between Lenora and Bennar. By morning, the entire town buzzes with gossip after someone recalls Lenora's chilling warning:
You will regret this.
To Sheriff Lopez, the case appears simple. Bennar had motive, opportunity, and far too many secrets.
But Hawthorne Corner is not an ordinary town.
Luna Bloom, the owner of Blooms & Brews Tea Room and the town's resident psychic, senses something darker moving beneath the surface of Lenora's murder. Strange energy clings to the victim's final manuscript, whispers drift through Evermore House, and Lila Evermore's restless spirit seems determined to guide Luna toward a truth someone will kill to protect.
Meanwhile, Don Chispa, the Cade family's dramatic Chinese Crested dog with a flair for chaos, sharp instincts, and a habit of blurting Spanglish at the worst possible moments, refuses to believe Bennar is a killer.
As literary scandals unravel, rivalries ignite, and long-buried secrets surrounding Lenora's lost manuscript begin to surface, Luna, Don Chispa, and the Cade family uncover a dangerous truth that threatens to destroy reputations, fortunes, and the fragile peace of Hawthorne Corner itself.
