A new Southern cozy mystery series with a bookshop, quirky townspeople, sweet tea, and an amateur sleuth—perfect for fans of Laura Childs.
Libby thought her new chapter in Southport was finally falling into place. A body in the Cape Fear River changed the story fast.
Libby Page is finally settling into life in Southport. Page’s Bookshop is thriving, her book club, The Plot Thickens, is a local hit and life is starting to feel almost normal—until she spots a body floating in the Cape Fear River.
The victim is tied to a controversial waterfront development that has the town split down the middle, and suddenly everyone has a motive, an opinion, or something to hide. When Libby and her quick-thinking assistant, Gracie Jean, start pulling at threads, the case leads close to home…and straight to a secret involving her best friend’s new romance.
With suspects piling up and tensions rising all over town, Libby realizes this murder is tangled up with loyalty, ambition, and secrets some people in Southport will do anything to keep buried.
Drafted in Deceit is the second book in the Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries—a coastal mystery featuring former book editor Libby Page.
Each book contains a complete mystery, but the first six books are tied together by a larger puzzle. For the full experience, read them in order.
