One Deadly Chapter (Agatha Royale Mystery Book 1)

A fresh start, a quirky bookstore, and one very nosy schnauzer... what could possibly go wrong?

After a rough divorce, Agatha Royale packs up her vintage Ford Falcon and heads for Bristol Lake, a postcard-perfect town where she inherits her late stepmother’s old bookstore. She plans quiet days filled with coffee, mystery novels, and her loyal dog, Mike.

But peace doesn’t last long. When Mike digs up a skeleton in the garden, Agatha’s dream life turns into a real-life whodunit. Between gossiping neighbors, secretive townsfolk, and a detective who thinks she knows too much, Agatha realizes everyone in Bristol Lake has something to hide.

Armed with determination, her sharp librarian instincts, and a mischievous miniature schnauzer, Agatha sets out to solve the mystery before the killer writes her into their next deadly chapter.

If you love witty amateur sleuths, charming small towns, and dogs who steal the show, you’ll adore One Deadly Chapter!
