A Fateful Sentence (Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library Book 20)
By Lucy Averill
A missing snake and a mysterious death turn a memoir writers retreat into a sleuthing mission for librarian Faith Newberry.
Spring is in full bloom at Castleton Manor, the pet-friendly literary retreat in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts, where Librarian Faith Newberry welcomes aspiring memoir writers. She’s dismayed to witness animosity between a judge, a shady businessman, and a bitter magician, and tensions rise when the magician’s reticulated python goes missing. Faith attempts to keep the guests calm as she searches the manor for the missing snake — and the situation goes from bad to worse when a guest is found dead. Was it the python? Or was it murder?
As the mysterious incidents continue, Faith and her friends in the Candle House Book Club — along with her dedicated cat, Watson — realize this is no open-and-shut case. Will Faith and her friends locate the python and see justice served? Or will the culprit, or culprits, avoid being sentenced?
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, reading, pets, and female friendships.
