Bookstore owner and Michigander Samantha Washington is thrilled to see her debut historical mystery finally on the shelves, but a killer seems determined to steal away the spotlight . . .

While Sam wraps up her first whirlwind book tour, Nana Jo has kept Market Street Mysteries running smoothly. The last stop is a prestigious book festival in Sam’s hometown of North Harbor, Michigan. But not everyone thinks the guest of honor, bestselling author Judith Hunter, deserves stellar reviews. Sam witnesses nasty arguments between Judith and two different authors—who accuse her of plagiarism and sabotage . . .

When a publicist is poisoned during a cocktail reception, Sam wonders if the killer missed the intended target. It’s a twist that echoes the plot of Sam’s mystery, Murder at Wickfield Lodge. But fact can be stranger—and deadlier—than fiction. How much collateral damage is the killer willing to risk? With feisty Nana Jo and the girls from Shady Acres Retirement Village lending a hand, Sam tries to solve the case before the festival delivers another fatality . . .

Two sides. Two cages. One mistake that becomes an obsession.
Holden was literally trained to hunt—until the man he thinks he’s pursuing walks straight into her trap.
Hollis is a cop with a missing boyfriend and no patience for “process”—and the more she fights, the more she realizes she’s being dismantled to create something new.
Ruthless chase. Power games. And love that might be survival—or the final lock.

Convincing you to read Frat Row by Krista Turner Clark @kristareadsmore

If you like stories with high tension, betrayal, and a relentless fight to survive, you need to read this. It starts with glamour and belonging—then flips into something darker in seconds: secrets, coercion, and a narrator who refuses to stay defeated. The writing has that “one more page” pull, and the ending energy is pure resilience: I won’t let them break me.
