The Plot Twist at Maple Glade Festival

The Cozy Novel Club Series

By: Brandi Knight

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

**A literary festival. A ruthless critic. A murder written between the lines.**

When Maple Glade hosts its annual **Literary Festival**, the charming town once again fills with authors, readers, and mystery lovers from across the country. For bookstore owner **Vanessa Carter**, it should be a weekend of book signings, lively discussions, and celebrating the stories she loves.

But the festival takes a dark turn when a notoriously sharp-tongued literary critic is found dead shortly after delivering a scathing review that humiliates several authors in attendance.

At first, the death appears to be a tragic accident.

Vanessa isn’t convinced.

The critic had spent the entire weekend exposing secrets—questioning stolen ideas, fabricated research, and literary reputations built on shaky foundations. When Vanessa begins to look closer, she realizes nearly everyone at the festival had a reason to want the man silenced.

A jealous novelist with a career on the brink.
A biographer with something to hide.
An agent protecting a lucrative client.
And a rare book dealer who knows more about literary history than he admits.

As Vanessa follows a trail of clues hidden in old manuscripts, rare editions, and whispered rivalries, she discovers the truth may have been **hidden in plain sight all along**.

But in a town where everyone loves a good mystery, someone is willing to write a deadly ending to keep their secrets buried.

And if Vanessa isn’t careful…

she may become the final chapter.
