Some stories end on the last page. This one starts there.
Pour a cup, settle in, and stay a while - Driftwood Cove keeps its secrets close.
When Maggie Chen left twenty years as a New York Law Librarian for the creaky floors and brass bell of The Last Page, she thought she was choosing a quieter life. A year into running the bookshop her great-aunt Eleanor left her, Driftwood Cove still feels like a place she's borrowing rather than living in.
It's a small town on the foggy Oregon coast - the kind where everyone knows your coffee order and the regulars have their own mugs on the wall. The kind of place where nothing much happens.
Until something does.
Maggie has always had a knack for noticing what other people miss - what a page leaves out, what a quiet town would rather not say. And lately, there's a great deal Driftwood Cove isn't saying.
Some questions, once asked, can't be unasked.
In Driftwood Cove, there's no telling what Maggie will uncover next.
So pour yourself a Dorothea - a flat white with a whisper of cinnamon - or try this month's blend, brewed to pair with a good book. Settle into the armchair second from the left, and stay a while. Every old book keeps a secret. And every secret keeps someone.
There's always a fresh pour and a good book waiting at The Last Page.
A Spine for Murder is the first book in The Last Page Bookshop Mysteries - cozy crime on the Oregon coast, with warm community, fair-play clues, and a slow-burn romance that takes its time. No gore, no cliffhangers - just a mystery to curl up with.
