Murder is long overdue at the Rushing Creek Public Library… and literary agent Allie Cobb is about to check out a killer. Fresh from a national book conference, Allie comes home to find beloved town librarian—and lifelong role model—Vicky Napier poisoned on the library floor on the eve of her retirement.

Murder takes a page out of a killer’s playbook - and now literary agent Allie Cobb is her Indiana hometown’s top suspect. Juggling her family’s literary agency, her best friend’s wedding, and a stubborn rescue cat who refuses to befriend her boyfriend’s golden retriever, Allie doesn’t have time for scandal.

Audiobook A Literal Mess (EN), written by J. C. Kenney. When a New York City literary agent returns to her small hometown to bury her father, murder is the one plot twist she didn’t see coming. Allie Cobb thought she’d left Rushing Creek, Indiana, behind for good, carving out a name for herself in Manhattan’s literary world, far from her famous father’s shadow.
