On Pens and Needles (Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library Book 13)

By Sandra Orchard

Stunts and pranks give way to murder during a horror writers gathering at Castleton Manor literary retreat.

The spine-tingling scene is set at Castleton Manor when the grand mansion plays host to a retreat for horror writers and fans. Librarian Faith Newberry feels unusually ill at ease about the event celebrating frightening stories, and all the talk of superstitions and bad omens makes her apprehensive. Her sense of foreboding only grows when the retreat organizer devises a series of hair-raising stunts to keep the guests constantly on edge — and one of the stunts turns deadly.

As Faith and her friends in the Candle House Book Club investigate the suspicious death, another mystery develops. Horror novelist Pierce Baltimore becomes the victim of pranks inspired by his latest book, and Faith suspects a revenge scheme. Can Faith crack both cases before things take a terrifying turn?

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.
