The Pages and Paws Mystery #3
Poison and Prose
A literary walking tour. A room full of secrets. And a killer who knows exactly where to strike.When Ginny Hampton launches her first Devon literary walking tour, she expects lively discussions, scenic coastlines, and plenty of cream teas—not a guest found dead before breakfast.
The victim was no ordinary tourist. Tobias Fletcher arrived in Tidehaven Cove asking unsettling questions about everyone’s credentials, digging into academic pasts and publishing histories with unnerving precision. Now he’s been poisoned, and Ginny’s carefully selected group of literary experts has become a circle of suspects—each with something to hide.
With her beloved bookshop at the center of the storm, Ginny must untangle rivalries, false identities, and long-buried secrets before the police close in. Helped by her loyal corgis Austen and Hardy—and supported by the ever-watchful village—Ginny discovers that words can be just as dangerous as weapons.
Because in Tidehaven Cove, some stories are worth killing to keep quiet.

A little bit more involved cozy mystery. I enjoyed the story, nice amount of twists and intrigues. Blackmail is never pretty.
but the editing needs work. I noticed 3 or 4 grammatical errors and the author had the same revelation about one character twice. I guess we were supposed to forget she revealed her secret right after the murder and again a few days later.
