Poisoned by the Book

Murder was never on the reading list.

Thea Olson loves her small North Dakota town, especially the library that's at the heart of it. She's happy to volunteer at the annual book fair, but when a prominent citizen is poisoned, the planning for this cozy event takes a chilling turn.

Armed with the sharp eye of her feisty grandmother, the reluctant help of the nerdy (and distractingly handsome) library director, and the sarcastic advice from an invisible chameleon only she can see, Thea sets out to prove it wasn't an accident.

The police chief might not believe in foul play, but Thea's gut says otherwise. The more suspects she interviews, the more secrets she uncovers—and someone will do anything to keep those secrets buried.

Can Thea solve the case before the killer writes a deadly final chapter?

Murder, mayhem, and a touch of magic in the heart of North Dakota.

Poisoned by the Book is the second book in a humorous cozy mystery series full of eccentric characters, North Dakota charm, and a pinch of paranormal mischief. Perfect for fans of bookish whodunits and critters with attitude.
