Upon her arrival, Ivy helps sort books, meets Anne's neighbors on the main street of Miller Springs and finds a dead body in the river. The former owner of the bookstore was murdered. A local legend about a valuable book he once owned then lost is whispered among the neighbors. Could that be the reason he was killed? Is that why strange things are happening at the new bookstore? Are Anne and Ivy somehow involved? With Anne's nosy determination and Ivy's cool logic, mother and daughter set out to solve the murder, find the book, and still open the bookstore on schedule.
