There may be grave consequences for bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright as
she attempts to solve two murders tied to one book in this novel in the
New York Times bestselling Bibliophile Mystery series.
Brooklyn's chance to restore a rare first edition of Beauty and the
Beast seems a fairy tale come true--until she realizes the book
belonged to an old friend of hers. Ten years ago, Max Adams, a brawny
renowned papermaker, fell in love with a stunning beauty, Emily, and
gave her the copy of Beauty and the Beast as a symbol of their love.
Soon afterward, he died in a car crash, and Brooklyn has always
suspected his possessive ex-girlfriend and her jealous beau.
Now she decides to find out who sold the book and return it to its
rightful owner--Emily. She believes a rare book dealer can assist her,
but when she arrives at his shop, she finds him murdered. Is it possible
that the same couple who may have killed Max are now after his edition
of Beauty and the Beast? With the help of her handsome boyfriend,
Derek Stone, Brooklyn must unravel the murder plot--before she ends up
in a plot herself....
