The Next Chapter bookstore in Sedona, Arizona, is the home of a unique book club where cancer survivors like owner Rarity Cole share both literary opinions and emotional support. But sometimes the conversation turns to murder . . .
Rarity is making the most of her second act with her business, her boyfriend, and her beloved Yorkie, named Killer. The Survivors’ Book Club is also thriving. Local author and potential new recruit Lindsey is planning a pet-adoption event at the Next Chapter and writing a history of the Blackstone, a supposedly haunted ruin in the desert that’s been a hotel, a women’s college—and a hospital where the cure was rumored to be worse than the disease.
But Lindsey’s arrival sets off tension with another member due to a past family conflict, and her book project leads the women into an even bigger drama. When Rarity joins Lindsey for a visit to the abandoned building, they discover an old underground morgue—and the body of a horror-film director who’s been scouting for a potential movie location.
Rarity will have to read the clues and find out who’s behind this real-life crime scene—and whether the Blackstone’s creepy history has claimed a new victim . . .
