Murder in the storybook cottage - Ellery Adams

Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a top travel destination for book lovers and the perfect spot for literary events.

But as a children's book publisher hosts a gathering there, some folks aren't going to live--happily ever after or otherwise .

Jane Steward's resort is hopping--not only is Peppermint Press's conference in full swing, there are also lots of families staying on the premises, bringing their kids to events like a scavenger hunt through the Fairy Tale Forest.

Then a woman dressed like Little Red Riding Hood is found dead from a plot device straight out of a fairy tale--with a rare and valuable copy of Grimms' Fairy Tales in her basket.

Not long after, a second victim is killed, with yet another treasure nearby--a volume by Hans Christian Andersen worth thousands of dollars.

It looks like a big bad wolf may be lurking among the guests, and Jane can't just wait for a handsome prince to come to the rescue .

Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.
