Plotted For Murder

Murder? Not so much.

But when her best friend finds a body behind the bleachers, bookshop owner Harvey can't resist unraveling the town's darkest secrets. Some stories should remain buried--but will she stay alive long enough to learn that?

Harvey's search for the truth may cost her more than she ever imagined.

She has always said if she was running, it's because she was being chased. That's never been more true.

It's Autumn, bookstore owner Harvey Beckett's favourite time of year, and she's most excited about two things – her bookshop's float in the annual Harvest Parade and pumpkin everything. But when her best friend Mart finds the body of her running coach and high school gym teacher behind the bleachers one autumn morning, Harvey becomes enthralled in a mystery that uncovers their quaint town's darkest secrets.

When Harvey's curiosity gets the best of her, she and her pup Mayhem find that maybe there are just some secrets better left undiscovered.

About the Author

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son and three rescue cats who are, of course, nocturnal. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants.

In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
