Verse and Vengeance (A Magical Bookshop Mystery, Book 4)

Verse and Vengeance by USA Today bestselling author and Agatha Award winner Amanda Flower is the fourth book in the charming Magical Bookshop Mystery series. In the Niagara Region village of Cascade Springs, magical bookshop owner Violet Waverly finds herself caught up in a bicycle-race murder that quickly becomes far more dangerous than expected.

The Tour de Cascade, organized by Violet’s Grandma Daisy, is meant to raise funds for the Cascade Springs Underground Railroad Museum. But when private investigator Joel Redding dies during the race and police chief David Rainwater discovers his bike’s brake line was cut, Violet lands on the suspect list. With Emerson the tuxedo cat, Faulkner the crow, and the magical guidance of Walt Whitman’s works, Violet must solve the crime and clear her name.

A fun choice for cozy mystery fans, bookshop lovers, cat-and-crow mystery readers, and anyone who enjoys magic, humour, and small-town sleuthing.
