When the professor’s nephew, Delbert, arrives, he proves just as sketchy as Florrie feared. But the following morning, Delbert has vanished. It’s not until she visits the third floor of the store that Florrie makes a tragic discovery—there’s a trap door in the landing, and a dead Delbert inside. The esteemed Professor Maxwell is an obvious suspect, but Florrie is certain this case isn’t so black and white. Other colorful characters are on the scene, all with a motive for murder. With a killer drawing closer, Florrie will need to think outside the lines . . . before death makes his mark again. "Clearly this book was written by a genius."—Buzzfeed

New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis’s fourth cozy mystery with a color-it-yourself cover finds Florrie Fox, the manager of Color Me Read Bookstore, attending her boss’s wedding to a well-known romance novelist. But when a guest turns up dead, all bets are off on the happily ever after! Includes A Front and Back Cover for You to Color! Coloring book creator and Washington, DC, bookstore owner Florrie Fox is attending the wedding of her wealthy boss and a famous romance author, who are taking their vows—for the second time—on the grounds of the gorgeous Maxwell mansion. But it soon becomes clear that the soothing vibe of coloring books is very different from the stress and backstabbing in some corners of the literary world. Arthur Bedlingham, for example, barely makes a living despite the many awards he’s won—and his chances for better sales haven’t been helped by the vicious review he just got from another guest at the party. Then there’s an ex-FBI agent whose popular thrillers are a magnet for female fans; a less-successful romance writer; and an ambitious waitress who’s intent on a career in journalism. When Arthur’s assistant, an aspiring writer, is murdered during the festivities, Florrie realizes this is no color-by-numbers case, and she’ll have to sort out the complicated secrets among this creative crowd of suspects…

Can the silver fox hotelier and young artist close the gap between their decades and learn to paint outside of the lines together? Rory This is my last chance. I’ve got one month to make a living from my art, or I’ve got to join the family business. That’s been the deal since I started college. Sure, I may have extended that deal by getting more degrees related to work. No one had to know I was filling my time with art classes on the side. But now there’s no more extensions. I’ve got to make some real money by the end of this summer or fall in line. Kenji I’m in charge now. My father opened a modest Japanese style inn decades ago, and now that he’s retired I’ve gone all in on every upgrade I could get my hands on to make it the luxury ryokan I’ve always thought it could be. The finishing touch was hiring an artist in town that was as hungry as me to ensure my vision would work. Everything is going according to plan, but I didn’t anticipate how thirsty working with Rory would make me. A decade apart, they’re both still dealing with family expectations that guide their lives. Can they close the gap between their ages and paint outside of the lines together, or will they live in their family shadows forever?
