PreOrder This Book!

A grand opening. A famous author. A deadly first edition.

Boone’s Book Nook is finally open, and Sadie Whitfield couldn’t be happier.

The shelves are stocked, the reading chairs are full, and the annual Bourbon Fall Festival has transformed downtown Normal, Kentucky, into the perfect autumn postcard. With pumpkin treats, hayrides, bluegrass music, and visitors filling Main Street, Sadie’s dream bookstore is everything she hoped it would be.

Until a surprise guest arrives.

A bestselling thriller author from Sadie’s publishing days in New York appears for an unannounced book signing carrying a priceless first edition unlike any other. Hidden inside is a cryptic inscription that reads more like an editor’s note than a personal message, hinting at the truth behind a decades-old cold case that has haunted Normal for generations.

Before the author can explain what it means, one sip of a Pumpkin-Cream Fall Cold Brew turns the celebration into a crime scene.

With Sheriff Al Hemmer investigating, the Laundry Club Ladies determined to solve the mystery before anyone else, and three very different men quietly competing for Sadie’s attention, she’ll have to rely on the one skill she’s spent her career perfecting: finding mistakes everyone else overlooked.

And they’ll kill again to keep the final chapter from being written.

Welcome back to Normal… where every story has a secret, every page hides a clue, and sometimes the deadliest mistake is the one that was never corrected.

Perfect for fans of charming small towns, clever clues, lovable characters, and cozy mysteries filled with books, coffee, and Southern charm.

Welcome to Normal, Kentucky… where every street has a story—and every story has a secret.

From USA TODAY bestselling author Tonya Kappes comes a brand new chapter in a beloved small-town world—where front porches stretch wide, sweet tea flows freely, and trouble has a way of finding even the quietest corners.

The Boone’s Book Nook Bookstore Mysteries invite readers into the heart of downtown Normal, a “living, breathing postcard” tucked inside the Daniel Boone National Forest. Here, charming cottage-style shops line Main Street, twinkle lights glow long after sunset, and the town’s infamous Laundry Club Ladies seem to know everything before anyone else does.

At the center of it all is Sadie Whitfield, a former New York publishing insider who trades city life for small-town charm, only to discover that Normal is anything but… well, normal.

As Sadie builds a new life, and eventually a bookstore of her own, she finds herself drawn into mysteries rooted in the town’s past, its people, and the secrets they’d rather keep buried. With each case, she uncovers more than clues… she uncovers what it truly means to belong.

This series marks the beginning of the Welcome to Normal Universe—an expansive, interconnected world where beloved characters cross paths, stories unfold across different corners of town, and readers are invited to return again and again to experience life, love, friendship… and the occasional well-timed murder.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series or stepping into Normal for the very first time, there’s always a place waiting for you here.

Pull up a chair.

Stay awhile.

Just don’t be surprised if you get pulled into a mystery before you leave.
