The Courtesy of Strangers. Bellefleur Mysteries, #1

Bellefleur is the sort of town that prides itself on good manners, old traditions, and knowing everyone's business. At least, that's what people want outsiders to believe. When a stranger dies under suspicious circumstances, local bookshop owner Margot Bell finds herself drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond a single death. Hidden family connections, long-forgotten betrayals, and secrets carefully protected for generations begin to surface, revealing a darker side of Bellefleur's charming streets.
As the investigation deepens, Margot discovers that nearly everyone in town has something to hide. The closer she comes to the truth, the more dangerous the search becomes. Because some secrets were never meant to be uncovered. The Courtesy of Strangers is the first mystery in the Bellefleur Mysteries series.
