She pictured a slow-paced life nestled in the foothills of the Swiss Alps. Instead, she found a curious bookstore and murder.

Old Bookstore Cozy Mystery #1

Moving with her husband to Switzerland, Anne is looking forward to a stress-free life in one of Europe's most picturesque countries. But now all that tranquility, not to mention having to learn a new language, is getting to her. So when an opportunity to work as an English-speaking assistant at an old bookstore appears, Anne jumps at the chance to feel a bit more useful.

Anne would be the first to admit that the store is a bit peculiar, but that's no reason why its customers should start turning up dead at an art colony on a nearby island, rumored to be cursed. And why were all victims interested in the same old diaries recently sold by the bookstore? Can Anne, with a little help from the store's even-more-peculiar black cat, solve this mystery before someone puts her permanently out of print?

Out of Print is the first book in a new series of fast-paced cozy mysteries set in picturesque Southern Switzerland and centered around an old bookstore, plus its resident black cat, that you can read in about 2 hours.

About the series:

If you love atmospheric cozy mysteries, set in idyllic European hamlets, this is the series for you. Centered around a slightly-peculiar old bookstore in the pretty town of Ascona (Switzerland's own slice of Italian dolce vita), follow American Anne on her escapades through this exotic region of Switzerland while she solves murders.
