Dear reader, I'm sorry / by Daire, Ashlyn,author.;
Her mother left her a bookstore filled with stories... but the most dangerous one wasn't on the shelves. The letters begin, "Dear Reader, I'm Sorry." But what unforgivable secret was Rose Ashwood trying to confess? For fans of Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena comes a haunting psychological suspense novel where inheriting a beloved small-town bookstore means unearthing secrets somebody wants kept buried. Clara Ashwood never expected to return to the sleepy, suffocating town she fled years ago. But when her estranged mother, Rose, dies in a sudden accident at the family's independent bookstore, Clara is drawn back to handle the estate-a duty she intends to perform with detached efficiency. The store, Ashwood & Sons, is a relic filled with dusty first editions and the ghosts of conversations Clara and her mother never had. Her perfunctory visit takes a chilling turn when she discovers a hidden key inside her mother's favorite book. It unlocks a drawer containing the first of many cryptic, unsent letters, all addressed to "Dear Reader" and signed with a heartbreaking apology. The letters hint at a dark secret Rose carried for twenty years, connected to the baffling disappearance of a local teenage girl, Eliza Grey, back in 1998. Haunted by her mother's fragmented confessions and the town's determined silence, Clara is pulled into the mystery. Aided by a reclusive ex-journalist who knows Ashwood's secrets all too well, she begins to decipher the intricate puzzle Rose left behind-a trail woven through hidden alcoves, annotated classics, and the very landscape of the town. But the deeper Clara digs, the clearer it becomes that Rose's "accident" might have been anything but. --

Bibliophilia : an epistolary novel of one man's obsession with book collecting / by Hall, N. John,author.(CARDINAL)266598;
"'Let the buyer beware.' Flush with $400,000 from the sale of his great-great-grandfather's correspondence with Victorian authors, Larry Dickerson, our unassuming retired blank clerk, amateur editor, and literary neophyte, needs a creative outlet for his newly acquired wealth and fast escalating obsession with all things bookish. His journey begins with collecting rare editions of Victorian novelists but soon spirals rapidly into the abyss of New Yorker authors, his determination to acquire growing with each new purchase. James Thurber, E.B. White, Vladimir Nabokov, J.D. Salinger, and Dorothy Parker all find their way onto Larry's shortlist, standing along previously acquired greats Trollope, Dickens, Thackeray, and Hardy. Being sensible, he approaches the biggest names in the rare book field with childish glee, and with refreshing brashness, finds himself handling copies of authors' most coveted titles, touring the New Yorker offices, and then involved in one of the biggest scandals book collecting has ever seen. Will the thrill of the chase overwhelm Larry's ability to see reason? Will his appetite outpace his resources? Join him on this journey as he discovers just how far he's willing to take his obsession.

Dear reader, I'm listening / by Daire, Ashlyn,author.;
"Dear Reader, I'm Listening" She's listening for the voices of the vanished. But the architect of their silence is listening, too. The haunting secrets of Ashwood & Sons continue in the riveting second novel of the Dear Reader: The Ashwood Novels series. She thought she knew her mother's story, but the apology was just the beginning...Six months after discovering her mother Rose's hidden life-and her final, cryptic message-Clara Ashwood is trying to forge a new existence running the family bookstore. But the fragile peace is shattered by anonymous letters from women hinting at a truth far darker than Rose's sonnets revealed. Signed only by initials, they speak of others like Eliza Grey-bright young women who became inconvenient and were systematically "collected" and removed from Ashwood under the guise of opportunity. As Clara investigates these "buried voices," aided by the town's disgraced ex-journalist Eli Barnes, whose own past holds troubling secrets, a popular local student vanishes after researching Rose's work, mirroring Eliza's fate two decades earlier. An underground network of safe houses emerges from the shadows, casting Rose's actions in a new light, even as Clara receives chilling warnings targeting her trust in Eli. Forced into hiding and hunted by forces determined to protect Ashwood's gilded facade, Clara must race to decipher clues left in a lockbox, decrypt damning audio files, and navigate shifting alliances-including the enigmatic wife of her prime suspect. The conspiracy runs deeper than she ever imagined, stretching far beyond Ashwood's borders, proving that listening for the truth is even more dangerous than uncovering the initial lie. --
