Running a pub wasn't part of the plan. Neither was unraveling a mystery. Elle Harper's life was perfectly predictable-until she inherited The Velvet Anchor Pub. Now she's trading Atlanta's skyline for salty air, stubborn locals, and a dog who thinks he's the boss. The pub? Quaint, but manageable. The town? A little too charming for its own good. And Bea? She left Elle more than just a business-like questions no one's rushing to answer. As Elle settles in, she finds herself surrounded by Bea's "inner circle"-a bartender who's heard every town secret, a free-spirited friend burning sage in the corners, and a social media guru one hashtag away from going viral. But when odd accidents and whispered warnings start piling up, Elle realizes Cornelia Cove's cozy façade might be hiding something dangerous. Can Elle figure out what Bea left behind-or will this small-town mystery be the one that sticks? If you love quirky characters, coastal charm, and mysteries with a twist, All Too Dead will keep you turning pages well past last call. Grab your copy today and pull up a seat at The Velvet Anchor.
Running a pub wasn't on Elle Harper's bingo card. Neither was solving a murder. Elle never planned to leave Atlanta, but inheriting The Velvet Anchor Pub from her late grandmother's best friend, Bea, changes everything. Trading city life for a coastal town full of quirky locals, she moves to Cornelia Cove with her dog, Gus, expecting to manage a bar-not unravel a mystery. From the moment she arrives, things feel off. A cryptic journal, a string of suspicious "accidents," and a not-so-warm welcome have Elle questioning whether Bea's death was really as unexpected as everyone claims. Luckily, she's not in this alone. Bea's closest friends-an all-knowing bartender who collects town gossip like rare albums, a bohemian sage-burner, and a social media guru who can make anything go viral-may seem like an unconventional investigative team, but they have one major advantage: Swifties are excellent at spotting Easter eggs-aka clues-and this town is full of them. Can Elle and the Swift Justice Club piece together the truth before someone decides to permanently edit her out of the story? All Too Dead is a must-read for fans of quirky cozy mysteries, coastal charm, and a sleuthing club that knows trouble when it walks in. Grab your copy today and pull up a s
