When Peggy Stark stumbles upon a hidden metal door behind a dusty bookshelf in her beloved Black-Briar Books, she doesn’t expect it to lead to a long-forgotten underground room—or a mystery her late grandfather kept carefully concealed. Together with her spirited cousins, Marnie and Arlene, Peggy uncovers a journal filled with cryptic notes, eerie symbols, and whispers of a powerful book that was never meant to be found.
But they aren’t the only ones searching.
A strange woman arrives in Cobbler’s Bluff, with unsettling questions and a chilling warning: the book must be returned—or darkness will follow.

With the help of their quirky small-town allies and a whole lot of caffeine, the trio must outwit shadowy strangers, dodge town gossip, and solve a mystery generations in the making.
The past is calling, and what it reveals could change everything.
Filled with warm and endearing banter, small-town charm, and a touch of supernatural intrigue, The Book Worm is a heartwarming and spine-tingling cozy mystery perfect for fans of Ellery Adams, Gigi Pandian, and Paige Shelton.
