Summary

When the White Rabbit in Alice asked where he should begin to read the verses at the Knave’s trial the King replied: “Begin at the beginning; go on till you come to the end; then stop.”
This would seem to be the last word on the subject of narration in general. For the novelist no dictum more entirely complete and satisfactory can be imagined—in theory. But in practice it is hard to live up to.
Where is the beginning of a story? Where is the beginning of anything? No one knows.

When an elderly Miracle Springs resident, Lucille Wynter, arranges for Nora to deliver an order of books to her creepy, crumbling Southern Gothic mansion, Nora doesn't expect to be invited in. An agoraphobic, Lucille doesn't leave Wynter House. Nor does she invite anyone inside. But when Lucille doesn't come to the door to collect her books, Nora begins to worry. 
 
 
 
Forcing her way into Lucille's dilapidated home, Nora is shocked to find rooms packed to the ceiling with decaying books and a lifeless Lucille at the foot of her stairs. After reading a note left behind by Lucille, Nora wonders if her death was an accident. Did Lucille fall or was she pushed by someone seeking a valuable item? Lucille's children are clearly confident the house contains something of value, because they hire Nora to sift through the piles of books. As she digs, Nora can't shake the feeling that hoarding didn't cause Lucille's fall. 
 
 
 
Nora does find something valuable deep inside Wynter House—a revelation about Lucille's terrible past . . . and a secret worth a small fortune. But there's someone who'd do anything to keep the truth buried amid the moldering tomes. The odds against them are stacked as high as the books, but it's up to Nora and her friends to track down a murderer with a literary lean before Wynter House's lost library claims another victim.
