    About this audiobook

    “The perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
    --Midwest Book Review (For Now and Forever)



    THE WITCHING PLACE: MURDER BY MANUSCRIPT is book #2 in a charming new cozy mystery series by bestselling author Sophie Love, author of The Inn at Sunset Harbor series, a #1 Bestseller with over 200 five-star reviews.



    When Alexis Blair, 29, is fired from her book publishing job and breaks up with her boyfriend on the same day, she wonders if life is urging her to make a fresh start. She decides it’s time to pursue her lifelong dream of opening a bookstore of her own—even if that means leaving Boston and accepting a job in a curious bookstore in a small seaside town an hour away.



    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?



    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.



    “The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”

      Good story but it tends to ramble on and repeats a lot
    • 4/5
      Fun and clever and just really an enjoyable book. I like that they’re engaging but not complicated. They keep you interested but you don’t have to stand there and try to figure out the whole storyline. Some books are like that and it’s just too hard sometimes.
