Murder by the Book
by Lauren Elliott
2018
Rare books expert Addie Greyborne escapes tragedy in Boston for a fresh start in Greyborne Harbor, where an inherited Victorian and bookshop await. When a treasured copy of Alice in Wonderland vanishes and her friend is arrested for murder, Addie starts sleuthing to clear her name.
Series background & context
The Beyond the Page Bookstore Mysteries follow Addison Greyborne, known as Addie, a rare books specialist who trades her job at the Boston Public Library for life in a small New England town. After the unsolved murder of her fiancé and the sudden death of her father, she inherits a hilltop Victorian and an astonishing collection of first editions from a great aunt she barely knew, and decides to start over by opening a bookshop.
Addie names the shop Beyond the Page Books and Curios and settles into Greyborne Harbor, a coastal community founded by her own ancestors. The town looks postcard perfect, but it turns out to have strong opinions, long memories, and plenty of secrets. Her closest allies include Serena, who runs the neighboring tea shop, and Paige and other friends who help keep the store and Addie's spirits afloat.
Murder, unfortunately, proves to be as common as misprints.
In each book, a different literary treasure draws Addie into danger, from a stolen copy of Alice in Wonderland to a missing first edition of A Christmas Carol or a rare magazine printing the first Sherlock Holmes story. Bodies turn up in bakeries, mansions, libraries, and even aboard a luxury yacht, and the history tied to those volumes often reaches into the town's founding families or Addie's own complicated lineage.
Because she once tracked down elusive titles for a living, Addie approaches crime scenes like a researcher. She pores over records, sorts clues on brown paper and note cards, and constantly revises her theories as new information comes to light. Local law enforcement is never far away, whether in the form of police chief Marc Chandler, medical professionals like Simon Emerson, or detectives she meets when the action moves overseas.
Relationships evolve alongside the mysteries, giving the series an ongoing emotional arc.
Over time, the investigations force Addie to confront what she wants from her future, how much she is willing to risk for the people she loves, and what it really means to belong in Greyborne Harbor. Readers can expect traditional cozy comforts, a strong focus on books and book collecting, and the sense that even when the stakes are high, there is always another story waiting on the next shelf.
