When a visiting professor is found dead, English major Pepper Brooks is caught in the middle of the investigation. Literally. While the detectives focus on crime scene forensics, Pepper can’t ignore the Shakespearian clues left by the killer.

With the help of a handsome library clerk, a dog named Hamburger, and The Bard himself, this unlikely sleuth might just close the book on this case.

Readers, this is the first in a literary-themed cozy series. If you love classic literature, feel like there’s nothing better than the smell of  books, see a library as a place of solace, and don’t mind an adorable puppy named Hammy hanging around, you’re going to love these books. And if Shakespeare’s not your jam, no worries, each book features a different classic author. 😉 Happy reading!
