A Cry for Help from the Past… A Mystery Too Intriguing to Ignore!

Ruby Finch always dreamed of becoming the town librarian—but she never imagined it would take a suspicious death to make it happen. Now, while helping her fiancé launch his new diner—the site of a recent murder and arson—she can't help but wonder… why do bad things keep happening around her?

When Ruby discovers an old note begging for help, the sheriff dismisses it as a hoax. But she knows better. With her sisters by her side, she dives into the dark history of a powerful family, unearthing secrets some would rather keep buried.

But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous things become. Someone wants the past to stay in the past—at any cost.

The Cozy Café Mysteries serve up small-town charm, amateur sleuthing, and a trio of witty, determined sisters—along with a few four-legged sidekicks!

Perfect for fans of library mysteries, family secrets, and page-turning whodunits with a dash of humor!
