Overview

She took a job to escape her past—she didn't expect a murder mystery to reshape her future.

In Shelved, a newly divorced woman finds solace in a quiet library job in a small Wisconsin town. But her peaceful reset takes a startling turn when a beloved library patron is found dead under suspicious circumstances. As she becomes entangled in the mystery—alongside quirky coworkers, devoted regulars, and buried town secrets—she also embarks on a deeper journey of self-discovery. Blending cozy mystery with personal reinvention, Shelved is a witty, heartfelt novel about starting over, finding purpose, and the unexpected ways a life can be rewritten.
