Drafted in Deceit (Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries #2)

Libby thought her new chapter in Southport was finally falling into place. A body in the Cape Fear River changed the story fast.

Libby Page is finally settling into life in Southport. Page’s Bookshop is thriving, her book club The Plot Thickens is a local hit and life is starting to feel almost normal—until she spots a body floating in the Cape Fear River.

The victim is tied to a controversial waterfront development that has the town split down the middle, and suddenly everyone has a motive, an opinion or something to hide. When Libby and her quick-thinking assistant, Gracie Jean, start pulling at threads, the case leads close to home … and straight to a secret involving her best friend’s new romance.

With suspects piling up and tensions rising all over town, Libby realizes this murder is tangled up with loyalty, ambition and secrets some people in Southport will do anything to keep buried.
