Murder is just a click away

for book blogger Winnie Lark.

The Book Blogger Mysteries star Arwen "Winnie" Lark, a book blogger whose cozy life in Copper Bay, Massachusetts, turns into a real page-turner when murder hits too close to home. As she bookmarks clues and reads between the lines, Winnie must plot her way to the truth before the killer writes The End of her story. Perfect for mystery readers who love cats, found families, and stories that are hard to put down!

When a loathed local podcaster signs off… for good, book blogger Winnie Lark finds herself tangled in the plot of a very real whodunnit—one that’s definitely not on her TBR list.

By day, Arwen “Winnie” Lark is a quiet, introverted bookworm. But online, she’s The Wren, a literary influencer known for her astute reviews and cozy charm. For Winnie, life in Copper Bay, Massachusetts, usually revolves around book club banter, new releases, and good food… until a notoriously nasty podcaster keels over at the local diner, poisoned mid-meal.

The victim made headlines—and enemies—by trashing Copper Bay’s beloved businesses one scathing episode at a time. With suspects as numerous as titles in a bargain bin, Winnie is stunned to find many of her friends in the hot seat. Determined to rewrite this narrative, she teams up with her movie-star brother and her tight-knit crew to crack the case.

As grudges fester and red herrings pile up, Winnie must read between the lines, highlight every clue, and dog-ear suspects as she goes. Because in a mystery this twisted, the killer has no intention of tying up loose plot threads, and the final chapter could end with someone else getting shelved… permanently.

Cozy mystery lovers beware: this book includes real titles to add to your ever-growing TBR pile. You’ve been warned.

It's a Copper Bay Christmas for Arwen "Winnie" Lark.

For the first time since moving to Copper Bay, Massachusetts, book blogger Winnie Lark is planning to spend the holidays at home. But instead of being curled up with her cat and a good book, Winnie is a bundle of nerves. Her hard-to-please parents are flying in from California for a visit, but thankfully, her twin brother, movie star Strider Lark, will be by her side. And with her bestie, Owen, set to make his acting debut in a local theatre production of A Christmas Carol, it's sure to be a merry ol' time.

But when Owen's bookstore suddenly becomes the scene of a shocking murder, Winnie's holiday cheer turns into dread. With Owen's reputation on the line, Winnie and her companions crack open another mystery. As they discover more about the victim, the Copper Bay crew begins to wonder: will they solve this case in time for the holidays, or are they in for a nightmare before Christmas?

Full of bookish references and cozy, light-hearted fun, Dearly Deleted will have readers saying, "Tis the season to be sleuthing!"

With review requests piling up for her popular book blog, Winnie Lark should be reading. But when her movie star brother arrives for a visit, Winnie must place a bookmark in the pages of her normal life.

Winnie thought her seaside cottage in Copper Bay, Massachusetts, would be the perfect spot to reconnect with her twin. Instead, Strider Lark becomes suspect number one when a local reporter is found murdered outside Winnie’s home. With the spotlight on her brother, Winnie takes a page out of the mysteries she loves and launches her own investigation. Harnessing her tech-savvy skills and bookish knowledge, Winnie thumbs through a trail of cryptic clues in her charming harborside town. It’s a race to the last page to unmask the culprit before Strider goes from leading man to dastardly villain…or worse, the killer strikes again.
