After a messy divorce left her wallet light and her heart heavy, Jessica packs up and heads to Hazenville to be closer to her daughter and grandson. She lands a job in the local library, expecting a cozy life filled with quiet stacks and Dewey Decimal numbers. It sounds like the perfect, peaceful fresh start. Hazenville has other plans. The silence of the library is shattered when a murder investigation turns the small town upside down. Jessica quickly discovers that her quirky neighbors are right in the middle of the police suspect list. Unable to sit on the sidelines while her new friends face scrutiny, she decides to do a little digging of her own. Now she must sift through the town’s secrets to find the truth. Jessica needs to catch a killer before her fresh start comes to a dead end, too.

USA Today Bestselling author Carolyn's Website at http://CarolynDeanBooks.com I've been writing and making stories in my head as early as I can remember. In third grade I came home, set my lunchbox down, and told my mother I wanted to be a writer. Luckily, Mom was supportive. I've been a published author for a while now, under different names and genres, but the thought of writing about a small coastal town in Oregon, and about its loves and mysteries and holidays and people has been with me for years. To be honest, I am a bit scared to dump those ideas onto the written page, but hope you'll enjoy getting to meet the people who inhabit my imagination. In real life, I'm married with kids, live on the West Coast of the US, and own a hobby farm just outside of my favorite small town. I love to travel, and can often be found strolling down a windy Oregon beach, holding onto the string of a high-sailing dragon kite.
