Love and murder are in the air this Valentine’s day in Maggie Blackburn’s third Beach Reads mystery, perfect for fans of Eva Gates and Miranda James.

When Beach Reads bookshop hosts a Valentine’s Day event, “Romance by the Sea,” bookseller Summer Merriweather has no idea that the guest author is under investigation for her own husband’s murder. When that same author is found dead at the local bed and breakfast, nobody assumes it’s natural causes–there were plenty of people who wanted her dead.

As Summer searches for the truth about the author’s stranger-than-fiction life, Summer finds suspicious indications of shady behavior in the author’s belongings. But the casual sleuthing is quickly derailed when Summer’s friend Glads gets hauled in for the murder, and they launch a full-blown investigation to clear her name.

As Summer and company pick through the scant clues to solve the case, they may find more treachery and heartbreak than they bargained for.

The Bleeding Hour by @sbrogueauthor

🔗 https://forms.gle/a3ZKHhJpbbWpjBmdA

SB Rogue cannot stress enough how difficult this book may be for some to read.

I am the product of serious childhood trauma. I’ve spent my life in therapy working on it.

While this book is a work of fiction, it is born out of that trauma.

If you’ve had your own childhood trauma, or if you’re a parent who loves your child, or if the physical abuse of a child is triggering for you, this book will be extremely hard to get through.

There’s a solid psychological thriller within the pages, but it’s not an easy ride.

Anyone interested in reading is advised to check the trigger warnings before diving in.

There is no HEA in The Bleeding Hour, nor anything remotely close to it.
