Overworked Mia Crawford finds her joy in books. Back home she has friends, her cats, her grandmother, countless novels to read, and little time for anything else. Here on vacation on a luxurious private island, she has a chance to reinvent herself for a little while. She can be bold on excursions. She can be brazen when she meets a cute local guy. She can live like a heroine in one of her favorite novels. When gossipy notes written in the margins of a book turn out to be clues that might solve the disappearance of another guest, Mia finds herself drawn into a dangerous adventure, and must solve the mystery before she becomes the next target.
