Order of Beyond The Page Bookstore Mysteries Books

Lauren Elliott's Beyond the Page Bookstore Mysteries follows Addie Greyborne, who has returned to her coastal hometown after leaving Boston and some difficult memories behind. Using her inheritance, Addie opens her own bookstore in this charming seaside community. Her background includes working for the Boston Public Library, where she honed investigative skills while hunting down rare books—talents that prove unexpectedly useful when mysteries arise in her small town.

The cozy mystery series launched in 2018 with Murder by the Book and continues to publish new installments. Lauren Elliott presents the books in both publication and chronological order.

In the second installment, Prologue to Murder, Addie finds herself entangled in local intrigue when the town's gossip columnist, known as "Miss Newsy," begins spreading rumors and lies through the Greyborne Harbor newspaper. The situation escalates dramatically when librarian June Winslow fails to return home after a book club gathering. When June is discovered dead at the bottom of a steep staircase, Addie must navigate both malicious gossip and a genuine murder investigation.
