A cozy mystery story combined with themed word search puzzles creates an interactive and charming whodunit experience in this fun new format that invites you to solve the case as you uncover clues.

Abby Jones has it all figured out: moving to Cranberry Creek will give her the fresh start she needs. From opening her brand-new bookstore on Main Street to learning to love her busybody landlady, Myrna, to spending her time on her favourite cozy hobby (word searches!), Abby has her hands full.

But when a famous author is mysteriously murdered at her bookstore’s opening event, her new future is at stake. It’s up to Abby, with the help of some new friends, to solve the case.

Murder Among the Stacks: Book 1 by Rosie A. Point offers readers a delightful blend of intrigue and interactive puzzles, ensuring both a captivating story and a unique reading experience.
