Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a top travel destination for book lovers
and the perfect spot for literary events. But as a children's book
publisher hosts a gathering there, some folks aren't going to
live--happily ever after or otherwise . . .
Jane Steward's resort is hopping--not only is Peppermint Press's
conference in full swing, there are also lots of families staying on the
premises, bringing their kids to events like a scavenger hunt through
the Fairy Tale Forest.
Then a woman dressed like Little Red Riding Hood is found dead from a
plot device straight out of a fairy tale--with a rare and valuable copy
of Grimms' Fairy Tales in her basket. Not long after, a second victim
is killed, with yet another treasure nearby--a volume by Hans Christian
Andersen worth thousands of dollars. It looks like a big bad wolf may be
lurking among the guests, and Jane can't just wait for a handsome prince
to come to the rescue . . .
"Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter
how many people end up dead there."
