Fall is in full swing in the picturesque New England town of Shady
Creek, Vermont, and Sadie Coleman, owner of the literary-themed Inkwell
pub, is serving up delicious food and drinks with a side of sleuthing in
the latest Literary Pub Mystery from USA Today bestselling author
Sarah Fox...
Autumn brings a wonderland of color and atmosphere to Vermont. As the
last leaves fall from the trees, the town is gearing up for a new
festival: A Taste of Shady Creek. Pub proprietor Sadie Coleman is
looking forward to visitors coming to sample her literary-themed
cocktails. She's a little more wary about her mother's impending first
visit. What if her mom doesn't like Sadie's adopted town--or her new
boyfriend, Grayson Blake?
Those concerns are overshadowed when a food critic is found dead at
Grayson's craft brewery, pinned under a barrel. Curiouser and
curiouser--the victim is linked to Grayson's past as a private
investigator, and all the evidence points to him as the killer. While
Grayson lays low, Sadie starts some investigating of her own, diving
down a rabbit hole of suspects. Was it a bad review that made the killer
mad as a hatter? Or are there other motives at play?
In between serving Kiss of the Cider Woman cocktails and book-minded
bites to festival goers, Sadie is striving to clear Grayson's name. But
it'll take more than a dash of ingenuity to prevent the festival from
fizzing out completely--and stop a killer from downing another innocent
life . . .
