A Treacherous Tale by Elizabeth Penney * Cambridge Bookshop Series #2

Lately, Molly has been feeling that she might have fallen into a fairy tale: she's reinvigorated the family bookshop Thomas Marlowe—Manuscripts and Folios, made friends in her new home of Cambridge, England, and is even developing a bit of a romance with the handsome Kieran—a bike shop owner with a somewhat intimidating family pedigree. Having recently discovered The Strawberry Girls, a classic children's tale, Molly is thrilled to learn the author, Iona York, lives nearby. But while visiting the famous author at her lovely cottage in nearby Hazelhurst, an old acquaintance of Iona's tumbles off her roof to his death. After Molly learns about the mysterious long-ago death of Iona’s husband and co-author…could past and present crimes be linked? Molly must put the clues together before someone turns this sweet tale sour. Paperback Used, see photos.
