Welcome to the re-opening of a used bookstore in East Tennessee, Bind Me Again. Books are piled high and the shelves are fully stocked.
Garnet Stone hoped the remodel would make the bookstore tidy, but her boss Jane is proving to be as messy as the previous owner. Garnet undergoes a secret mission to declutter the store, which isn’t easy with two cats running the place.
Jacob Rome overshadows Garnet’s concerns. The freelance editor has moved to Sevier Oak and causes problems with the locals. When he brings books for trade-in, Garnet and Jane find a death certificate tucked inside. The deceased is a missing person from twenty years ago, and the mystery intensifies when someone murders Jacob behind the store.
Garnet and Jane take it upon themselves to save the bookshop’s reputation - and of course, to satisfy their curiosity. Solving the homicide is a challenge as everyone seems to be lying, including the dead man. In the end, unearthing the truth will reveal much more than simply who murdered Jacob Rome.
