The Tell-Tale Homicide by Daphne Silver
November 25, 2024 – January 3, 2025 Virtual Book Tour

About the Book:
Rare books librarian Juniper Blume lands her dream job: creating a new museum in her Chesapeake Bay town of Rose Mallow, Maryland. But on her very first day, she makes a shocking discovery – a dead man clutching a book by Edgar Allan Poe, stolen from the collections!
As Juniper gets closer to cracking the coded message hidden inside the book, she realizes someone is desperate to keep its literary secrets buried… even if that means burying her too.
Dressed in her signature vintage style with rescue pup Clover by her side, the fearless bookworm must hunt down the culprit before becoming the next victim. But can she solve the case without jeopardizing a budding romance with her boss, the dashing Leo Calverton? And can she help her sister Azalea perfect their grandmother’s legendary blintz recipe before the Rose Mallow Festival?
A delightfully deadly page-turner, The Tell-Tale Homicide continues the charming Rare Books Cozy Mystery series by Agatha award-winning author Daphne Silver. Fans of Kate Carlisle and Jenn McKinlay will love tagging along with the whip-smart, book-loving Juniper on her adventures.

My Review:
What a wonderful follow up to the first book in this series (Crime and Parchment)! I’m always a fan of cozy mysteries featuring librarian sleuths, and Juniper as a rare books librarian puts a special twist in our story!
The story jumps right into the mystery with Juniper finding a dead body on her first day of work. This, of course, propels her into an investigation that involves not only the victim, but also missing rare books from her new job.
I love that this mystery took Juniper around town, learning about the history of the town, as well as the history of the Calverton family. It was fun to collect clues alongside Juniper, and I do so love her sister and niece and of course her dog Clover.
Fans of cozy mysteries looking for their next page-turning read, should jump right into Silver’s Rare Books Cozy Mystery series.
