The Bookshop Missing Manuscript

A legendary lost work. A room full of suspects. And a Friday Tea Hour that takes a mysterious turn. Freelance writer turned bookshop co-owner Iris Chen is finally starting to feel at home in Bellflower Bay. The dust has settled since the teapot incident, and she's beginning to embrace the quiet rhythm of small-town life behind the purple door of the Lavender Lane Bookshop. But when a famous, reclusive author chooses the shop to unveil a long-lost, unpublished manuscript, the peace is shattered. Before the first page can be read at the Friday Tea Hour, the manuscript vanishes. Return to the world where the tea is hot, the books are plenty, and the mysteries are always solved with heart.
