A Killer Between the Pages
A Lark & Quill Mystery · Mira Ellsworth
A Boston editor inherits a Vermont bookshop. In week one, a rare-book dealer dies between the stacks. The sheriff would like her to leave the tape alone. She does not.
Helen Brig is thirty-four, newly unemployed from a Boston desk, and the sudden owner of The Lark & Quill: her Aunt Eleanor’s used-and-rare shop, a cat with opinions, and a town that still says ice when it means February.
On her second morning, a dealer is dead in Folio. Sheriff Hugh Kline is thirty-eight, a widower, and very interested in procedure. He is less interested in an amateur with an editor’s eye for what does not match.
The part-time clerk is twitchy. A quiet collector in Burlington keeps calling. A rival dealer offers to help. The clues are in the shop if someone will look: a coded shelf list, a van in the alley, an endpaper that does not belong to 1819.
Tea. Wool. One more page. No kiss required.
A Heddleford Mystery. Book 1 in the Lark & Quill series. Clean cozy. Fair-play clues.
