    Between a Book and a Hard Place
    by Denise Swanson

    The New York Times bestselling author of Dying
    for a Cupcake
    returns with a new mystery filled with
    lost family, hidden treasure, and long-buried secrets…

    Five-and-dime store owner Devereaux “Dev”
    Sinclair moved to Shadow Bend for her family. But when her
    long-lost mother shows up in town, she realizes too much kin
    can be killer…

    Shadow Bend’s library closed years ago because of
    budgetary problems, so when a wealthy benefactor offers to
    reopen it, everyone, including Dev, is thrilled. But
    Dev’s excitement wanes when she realizes the
    mysterious donor is actually her runaway mother
    Yvette’s latest husband, Jett Benedict.

    Dev suspects that Yvette and Jett’s intentions
    aren’t as noble as they appear, but before she can
    discover what they’re really up to, Jett turns up
    dead—and all clues point to Yvette as the prime suspect.

    Even though Dev has no loyalty to Yvette, she’s in a
    bind. Setting the record straight could prove her mother is
    a killer. But doing nothing might get her mother booked for
    a crime she didn’t commit…
