Lost in a Book is the sixteenth book in The Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series. Hannah Prentiss has her hands full running her restaurant, the Hot Spot, but she always makes time to help someone in need. So when her best friend, Lacy Minyard, mentions that her husband is struggling to step away from his bookstore, Legend & Key, to be home with Lacy and their newborn, Hannah volunteers to work at the store. But Hannah never could have predicted the mystery she finds between the pages! When Hannah and the bookstore's newest employee dig into a box of old books, they find an autographed photo of Judy Garland with a personalized note inside a 1945 edition of Black Beauty. But shortly after they discover the photo, it's stolen right off Neil's desk! As Hannah works to track down the thief, she soon learns that the photo once belonged to Neil's grandmother, and that this isn't the first time the photograph has been stolen. History is repeating itself, but this time it's up to Hannah to figure out why…and to make sure the culprit doesn't get away!
