Murder in Devil's Cove

Written by Melissa Bourbon

Narrated by Abigail Reno

Every book tells two stories—one written on the pages with pen and ink, and one woven into the paper, a story of the soul. The Lane women have the gift of bibliomancy. They can read both.

But Cassie Lane doesn’t see this as a gift. For her, it is a curse because the book magic comes with a price--the Lane women die young and the men are lost to the sea. As soon as she’s able, she leaves Laurel Point, Oregon, running from her past and her fate, ending up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There she meets Leo Hawthorne and lives a perfect life with him in an old Sea Captain’s house.

Perfect, that is, until an old book foretells the future, and the curse that has plagued the Lane women comes true for Cassie.

Twenty years later, Cassie and Leo's children, twins Pippin and Grey, are back in Devil's Cove. Long forgotten secrets surface and an old crime comes to light. Now Pippin must learn how to be a bibliomancer if she is to discover the truth about her father and continue his effort to stop the curse.

Reviews for Murder in Devil's Cove

[Tamye Whitener · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Intriguing story!

This series just gets better. I couldn't stop listening. The narrator does a fabulous job giving life to the various characters.

Pippin and Grey are Cassie's twins born years after the end of "The Secret of Rum Runners Lane". The twins return to Devil's Cove and divide to rehab their old home. Which begins Pippin's journey of discovery. Some good, some dangerous, most of interest in one way or another.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
