A Marginalia of Secrets
Every town keeps its stories. Some it would rather you didn't read.
Winter has settled over Driftwood Cove. The harbor is gray, the fog comes in early and stays late, and The Last Page has become the warm, lit room at the heart of a town hunkered down against the season.
Maggie Chen has come to love this place. Which is exactly why what she finds is so hard to set down.
She has never been able to look away from the thing that doesn't fit - the detail out of place, the silence where an answer should be. And Driftwood Cove, for all its lamplit windows and familiar faces, has never quite run out of things it would prefer to keep quiet.
Some truths wait a long time to be read.
In Driftwood Cove, there's no telling what Maggie will uncover next.
So treat yourself to a Dorothea - a flat white with a whisper of cinnamon - or the Eleanor, a cortado Maggie named for the woman who started it all. 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 Marginalia of Secrets is the third book in The Last Page Bookshop Mysteries - cozy crime on the Oregon coast, with warm community, fair-play clues, and a slow-burn romance worth the wait. No gore, no cliffhangers - just a mystery to curl up with.
The secrets of Driftwood Cove run deeper book by book. Start at the beginning, with A Spine for Murder.
