As Juniper gets closer to cracking the coded message hidden inside the book, she realizes someone is desperate to keep its literary secrets buried…even if that means burying her, too.
Dressed in her signature vintage style with rescue pup Clover by her side, the fearless bookworm must hunt down the culprit before becoming the next victim. But can she solve the case without jeopardizing a budding romance with her boss, the dashing Leo Calverton? And can she help her sister Azalea perfect their grandmother's legendary blintz recipe before the Rose Mallow Festival?
A delightfully deadly page-turner, The Tell-Tale Homicide continues the charming Rare Books Cozy Mystery series by Agatha Award-winning author Daphne Silver. Fans of Kate Carlisle and Jenn McKinlay will love tagging along with the whip-smart, book-loving Juniper on her adventures.

The Tell-Tale Homicide by Daphne Silver 📚
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just finished reading The Tell-Tale Homicide by Daphne Silver, and it was a pretty enjoyable ride. The story follows Juniper Blume, a rare books librarian who’s just landed her dream gig of setting up a new museum in Rose Mallow, Maryland. But things take a wild turn during her first week when she stumbles upon a dead guy clutching a stolen Edgar Allan Poe book. Talk about a dramatic start to a new job! 🔍📖
As Juniper dives into unraveling the mystery, she finds that someone really doesn’t want those bookish secrets to see the light of day. With her rescue pup Clover by her side and dressed in her vintage outfits, she’s on a mission to track down the killer. But it’s not all sleuthing—she’s also juggling a potential romance with her boss, Leo, and trying to help her sister Azalea with their grandma’s blintz recipe for the upcoming festival. 🕵️♀️🐾❤️
The book is well-written and holds up nicely as a standalone. The mystery is well-paced and well-plotted, keeping me hooked till the end. I found the characters quite likable, especially Juniper with her book-loving spirit. I’m definitely looking forward to diving into more books in this series. If you're into cozy mysteries with a literary twist, give this one a go! 📚✨
