An Autographed Mystery (Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library Book 5)
By DeAnna Julie Dodson
Faith Newberry’s job goes from hard to impossible when a squabbling family’s treasury of rare editions disappears at Castleton Manor during a blizzard.
As a winter storm brews in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts, eleven members of the Drelincourt family have booked the Castleton Manor literary retreat. It’s librarian Faith Newberry’s job to convince the patriarch, Max Drelincourt, and his nieces and nephews to sell their ancestor’s complete collection of autographed Agatha Christie first editions, which had been divided up among the family members. Faith thinks the family’s infighting is bad enough, but then the valuable books begin to disappear until there are none. No one can get in or out, so the precious tomes must be somewhere in the manor. The Drelincourts have a nemesis — but who is it?
Fortunately, Faith has the assistance of all the members of the Candle House Book Club, as well as her cat Watson, whose uncanny abilities may surprise everyone. Together, they’ll find out if there’s merely mischief on the Drelincourt express, or if something wicked has come to Castleton Manor.
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.
