Publisher's Summary

Jacqueline Finch is a lifelong book lover, which is why it was a literal gift from the Universe when she inherited Three Tomes Bookshop.

But she's had a few adjustments to make along the way, including the fact that her bookshop seems to be a haven for literary characters to come alive and to stick their noses into things that aren't any of their business.

And then there are the three old ladies down the street, whose resemblance to Macbeth's Witches Three cannot be ignored.

Nevertheless, Jacqueline is happy and everything seems to be going well, even when she discovers that Dickens's the Artful Dodger has come to life.

She manages to keep Dodger under wraps until a young woman bursts into the shop claiming her husband is trying to kill her. Jacqueline springs into action, but it turns out the young woman wants a specific kind of assistance that Jacqueline has no idea how to provide.

Things get even worse when Cinderella shows up at the shop and the Artful Dodger falls for her . . . and neither of them have any intention of returning to their books.

Jacqueline's got her hands full, but with the help of the three crones and her two best friends, she's determined to muddle through.
