About this listen

In a quiet library where silence reigns and stories sleep, death leaves a calling card.

Julia Wren, head librarian in the historic town of Oak Hollow, never expected murder to disrupt her orderly world of manuscripts and microfiche. But when a rare book returns with a cryptic note—and a respected scholar is found dead between the stacks—Julia is drawn into a chilling mystery rooted in the library's forgotten past.

As Julia partners with Mason Hale, a sharp-minded literature student with secrets of his own, they uncover a hidden chamber, an encrypted literary society, and a legacy of betrayal veiled behind dust-laden pages. With the enigmatic “Silhouettes” manipulating events from the shadows, and cryptic codes pointing toward a motive buried deep in 19th-century manuscripts, the library becomes more than a crime scene—it becomes a labyrinth of knowledge, deception, and dangerous truth.

Bookmarked for Death is a rich literary mystery cozy thriller hybrid, perfect for fans of The Shadow of the Wind, The Secret History, and The Name of the Rose. Carolyn Allen masterfully blends gothic atmosphere, dark academia, and psychological intrigue in a story where books don’t just contain secrets—they kill to protect them.
