The First Edition

About The First Edition

Megan Ridley came to Alderly meaning to stay six months. Six autumns later, the town has become home — and as the Harvest Festival lanterns come up over the green where her story began, a first edition gives up a folded document that could rewrite everything Alderly believes about itself. When the man at the heart of the town's bitterest dispute turns up dead and the document vanishes, Megan faces the hardest case of her life: one where seeing the truth means doubting the very instinct she's spent years learning to trust. The grand finale of the Megan Ridley Mysteries brings every thread home — the town, the bookshop, the friendships, and a love story years in the making — in a warmhearted, deeply satisfying conclusion about the quiet, unglamorous work of belonging somewhere. The perfect last chapter for the readers who made Alderly their second home
