This bundle offers books two and three in one convenient file, with over 150,000 words of reading. In THE WITCHING PLACE: MURDER BY MANUSCRIPT (Book #2), when Alexis is dispatched to scout out some books in an estate sale in a gothic mansion, she finds something she does not expect: one book is incredibly rare, the only one of its kind in existence, worth millions of dollars. She also soon finds something else she does not expect: a dead body. Thrust in the middle of the crime, will Alexis be able to clear her name? And will she discover the mystery at the heart of her very own store? In THE WITCHING PLACE: A PERILOUS PAGE, a cryptic visitor comes into town, looking for a rare book, and willing to pay anything. But when he ends up dead, Alexis wonders: was the price too high? And did Alexis’s mysterious store owner have anything to do with it? A page-turning cozy, rife with the supernatural, mystery, secrets and love—and centered around a small town as odd and endearing as its shop—A CURIOUS BOOKSTORE will make you fall in love and keep you laughing out loud as you turn pages late into the night. Books #4-#5 are also available!
