Midlife is Murder

Welcome to Bookend Bay, where the coffee is spiced, the ghosts are cheeky, and midlife is murder.

Divorced café owner Quinn Delaney expected a few midlife changes. The welcome ones: an empty nest and the small-town café of her dreams. The unwelcome ones: a sudden ability to see ghosts, a relentlessly tidy twin from a parallel universe, and a rash of murders no one in Bookend Bay can explain.

There's little time to dwell on the absurdity, because murder is afoot. And when suspicion falls close to home, Quinn realizes she has help no one else can see. Her ghostly regulars make the best witnesses in town, and her twin—invisible to nearly everyone and prone to vanish at the worst possible moment—can slip into places Quinn can't. With that unlikely pair and her best friend Toni at her side, this over-forty amateur sleuth is about to crack cases the living can't.

If you like small-town secrets, sleuths over forty, and ghosts with opinions, pull up a stool at the Bookend Bay café.

Because midlife isn’t the end of the adventure. It’s where the real one begins.
