In this Bibliophile Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author
of Books of a Feather, San Francisco bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright
stumbles through the looking glass in a tale of murder, rare books,
and a quest for the perfect pie… Brooklyn's oh-so-proper future
in-laws are traveling from England to meet her, and if that's not
enough to set her on edge, rumors abound that the charming Courtyard
shops across the street may be replaced by high-rise apartments. Their
trendy neighborhood will be ruined unless Brooklyn and her fiancé,
Derek Stone, can persuade the shopkeepers not to sell. But with a
rare edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland causing bad blood at
the Brothers Bookshop and a string of petty vandalism making everyone
nervous, Brooklyn and Derek feel like they're attempting six
impossible things before breakfast. Then the owner of the Rabbit Hole
juice bar is felled by his own heavy shelves, and the local cobbler
lies dead beside him. An accident . . . or something more sinister?
Things get curiouser and curiouser when a second priceless copy of
Alice is discovered. Will it stir up more trouble within the
close-knit community? As the Brits descend, Brooklyn learns
they're not so stuffy after all. Derek's dad is won over with
chocolate cream pie, and his psychic mum would kill to help Brooklyn
solve this murder—before another victim takes a tumble.
