The Midnight Reader

Charlie Whitmore has finally found her rhythm as owner of Oak & Ink Bookshop in Leafwood Falls, Vermont. More than a year after leaving her Manhattan law career behind, she's settled into small-town life with her boyfriend, her sharp-tongued assistant Mia, and Hemingway, the imperious orange cat who rules the shop.

But when Charlie discovers someone has been visiting Oak & Ink after hours, she expects the worst. Instead, she finds carefully penciled margin notes signed "R. W."—thoughtful, insightful commentary that suggests someone who truly understands books, grief, and the healing power of stories.

With Mia's investigative enthusiasm and help from Tom, the poetry-quoting blacksmith who makes Mia's heart flutter, Charlie sets out to solve the mystery. But the truth they uncover is more heartbreaking than any break-in: sometimes the people who need books most are the ones who can no longer afford to own them.

Set in the magical world of Leafwood Falls, The Midnight Reader delivers all the bookish charm, gentle humor, and small-town warmth. This novella is perfect for an afternoon escape into a place where cats dispense wisdom, books have opinions, and good things happen.
