The Body in the Bookshop: An Emerson Fox Mystery #1

Inheriting a bookshop and the island that comes with it could be the solution to all of Emmy’s problems, or it could be the last thing she ever does.

Emerson Fox’s ADHD has left her with a do-nothing degree, a jilted ex-fiancé, mounds of student debt, and a knack for forgetting important things while focusing on obscure details.

When a disastrous blind date leaves her stranded in a quaint bookshop on a tiny island in Washington's Puget Sound, the last thing she expects is to find the bookshop’s owner has been murdered. Even more shocking, he’s left a will that names her as his long-lost niece and sole heir to his bookshop and the entire island.

Emmy can’t claim her inheritance until she unearths a long-buried family secret, convinces the only police officer in town (and the other half of her disastrous date) that she’s innocent, and finds the focus she needs to solve her uncle’s murder.

"The Body in the Bookshop" is the first book in the Emerson Fox mystery series. If you love stories with heart, humor, and unexpected twists and turns you love this new cozy mystery series by acclaimed author, Jennifer Shaw Wolf.
