But tragedy strikes when Miss Bunch the librarian is found dead between the non-fiction stacks. Then the local milkman collapses in broad daylight.

And that's when things really start hotting up. The hunky model who graces the covers of Ellie's favorite books turns up in Chitterton Fells!

And someone is going after his entourage. They're being bumped off, one by one. Ellie must stop a twisted killer before they murder the man of her dreams.
