The Inkwell Pub is decorated with literary touches, has drinks name for famous books and fictional characters and holds book club meetings. Opening in the midst of the town's Autumn Festival. Sadie and her staff throw themselves into decorating and even enter the catapult contest.
The fly in the ointment arrives in the form of her ex-boyfriend Eric. Her staff helps her avoid him for most of the day and she is able to attend a dinner with her aunt. When she returns to her pub, she encounters Grayson Blake, a local brewery owner, who Sadie for some reason doesn't care for. As they walk back to her pub, they smell smoke and notice flames shooting from one of the nearby buildings.
Two storefronts are on fire, but Sadie knows neither is occupied, fortunately. With her mind filled with worry about the fire spreading to her pub, she'salso thrilled not to have encountered Eric. Next morning she finds all her tires slashed on her car and not too far away, the body of her ex is sprawled at the water's edge.
Who would kill Eric and why? He didn't know anyone in town except her and that leaves Sadie with a chill of fear. When the police start questioning Sadie in earnest, she decides she needs to solve the murder herself.
A fun start to a new series.
