The latest installment in Lauren Elliott's ever popular Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery series starring Addie Greyborne, a book-themed cozy series perfect for fans of Kate Carlisle's Bibliophile series and Jenn McKinlay's Library Lover's series.

Wedding bells are about to ring again in Greyborne Harbor, and as Addie slips into her white dress her thoughts are focused on a bright future with Dr. Simon Emerson. But a discovery in her attic leads her to startling revelations about the past. As the owner of Beyond the Page Books and Curios and a lifelong bibliophile, Addie is delighted to find a rare collection of classic children's books gathering dust in a secret room beneath the rafters, including a first edition of The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. To her surprise, a handwritten inscription on the title page provides a clue to unraveling a complex mystery in Addie's family . . .

But that's only the first surprise in a series of shocking twists that will turn Addie's vision of where her life is going and where she's come from upside down—including a suspicious death in the present that suggests foul play.

Praise for A Margin for Murder
"Nicely fits the cozy formula, with plenty of specialized knowledge, local color, and romance."

      A shocking surprise disrupts a bookseller's wedding. Standing at the altar waiting for the minister to pronounce you and your groom man and wife probably isn't anyone's preferred time or place to learn that the man you're about to wed is still married to someone else. But Addie Greyborne did have to recognize, however grudgingly, that Valerie Price's eleventh-hour announcement that Simon Emerson was still legally married to Valerie's niece, Laurel Hill, saved her from entering unknowingly into a bigamous union. Still, Addie's gratitude does not extend to mourning Valerie's death days later. Not does it extend, at first, to using her considerable sleuthing skills to solve Valerie's murder. Taking time off from her store, Beyond the Page Books and Curios in Greyborne Harbor, Massachusetts, Addie spends her days grieving the loss of Simon and prowling the house her great-aunt Anita left her for mementos of her benefactor. When she finds an unworn wedding dress in the attic among all the boxes of books, she decides that's the puzzle she wants to probe. It isn't until her good friend Marc, a detective on the local police force, asks for her help that she admits she might be able to handle two investigations at once. Working out two simultaneous puzzles teaches Addie a lot about herself and proves to be just the tonic she needs to cope with the shock of a lifetime. Detection as therapy, while not exactly new, proves highly effective.
