A Page Marked For Murder

By: Lauren Elliott

Narrated by: Karen White

A murder and a missing book have Addie Greyborne running around her Massachusetts town trying to read the clues....

January isn't the season for the seaside, but the big Fire and Ice festival is keeping bookstore owner Addie busy. Amid the plans for a fireworks display and an ice-carving competition, she's also dog sitting for a friend in the hospital. When Addie goes to her friend's house to gather supplies, she notices an interesting item on the nightstand that belongs to her shop assistant, Paige: a very valuable copy of the beloved children's book The Secret Garden.

But Addie's blood runs cold when she finds something else: a dead body behind the bakery next door to her shop. Martha, the bakery owner, has no alibi - and has been seen in a heated argument with the victim. And the next thing Addie knows, that first edition has gone missing. Is there a connection between the body and the treasured tome? If there is, it's up to Addie to find a killer with a motive as hidden as Frances Hodgson Burnett's famous garden....

A Bookstore Mystery

Families are often a blessing and a curse. When Paige’s daughter’s father returns and demands joint custody emotions are explosive. Then a valuable book disappears and a dead body is found. Another who done it with lots of twists.

Great Reading

Loved the twist and turns in this book. The outcome was a surprise to me. I recommend this book.

The story was engaging, but the narration was not.

Not keen on the narrator; i found the deliberate tempo with no inflections when performing the background story difficult to listen to, though she did a good job on the young female voices.
