The Missing Manuscript Murder: A Grace Thompson Cozy Mystery Book 1 (A Grace Thompson Cozy Mystery Series)

A missing manuscript. A dead author. And a mystery that’s anything but fiction.

When reclusive novelist Ashton Blackwood is found dead in the aisles of Shelf Indulgence, chaos erupts in the quiet town of Bloomsville. With a missing manuscript and a long list of literary enemies, the case reads like one of Blackwood’s own thrillers.

Florist-turned-sleuth Grace Thompson teams up with forensic specialist Chloe Sutton and her ever-observant Westie, Rosie, to dig through a plot tangled in ambition, betrayal, and buried secrets. From rival writers to bitter editors, the suspects are as layered as a bestseller—and just as twisty.

With Sheriff Waverly seeking their help and the danger mounting, Grace must race to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

A cozy mystery filled with charm, suspense, and one clever Westie who always finds the truth.
