Hello, Maplebrook! Grab a cup of your finest coffee, pull up a chair, and let me introduce you to Piper Page—the heart and soul behind our beloved hangout, Books and Brew. Piper isn’t just serving up lattes and the latest bestsellers; she’s also solving mysteries that would make Sherlock hit the books—and she does it all with her trusty sidekick, Jazz, the sleek tuxedo cat with a nose for clues.

 

Backstory Blast
Picture this: Piper, our hometown girl, made a detour into the big city to study Literature (because what’s a heroine without a love for books that borders on obsession?). After college, she worked in a city library—imagine lots of shushing and book stacking. But city life couldn’t drown out the call of Maplebrook’s quaint streets and whispered secrets, so she came back and set up shop. Books and Brew was born, blending Piper’s passions for espresso shots and plot twists.

Personality Peek
Piper is the friend you call when you need a cozy chat or when you can’t figure out who the murderer in your latest read is. She’s got this warm, magnetic vibe that makes you want to spill your deepest, darkest secrets (or just what you had for lunch—it’s all interesting to her). Thanks to her almost magical memory for details and her knack for reading people like a well-loved novel, she’s just as good at sniffing out secrets as she is at recommending your next book binge. And with Jazz, her curious cat often curled up on the counter, her bookstore feels even more like home.

Justice, Served with Coffee
What gets Piper out of bed in the morning? A steaming cup of justice (with a side of homemade banana bread, of course). When crime touches her community, Piper’s right there in the thick of it, making sure the bad guys get their just desserts. It all started when a real-life murder mystery threatened her beloved bookstore’s future—cue the birth of the Murder Mystery Book Club. Because nothing says ‘community’ like catching a criminal over coffee and cake, right?

Stylish Sleuth
Let’s talk style. Piper is the queen of the comfy-chic look (because you never know when you’ll need to chase down a clue). With her shoulder-length auburn hair and those tell-all hazel eyes, she rocks the laid-back bookstore owner vibe. Her wardrobe? Think your favorite graphic tee meets detective chic, always paired with trusty leather boots. Perfect for pondering puzzles or picking the perfect paperback.

The Murder Mystery Book Club Lowdown
Here’s the scoop on the coolest club in town: born from necessity, brewed to perfection. It’s where Piper and her pals—Zoe and Lottie—trade theories about who-dun-it, all while dissecting their latest favorite book. Think of it as your weekly dose of thrills and chills, with plenty of laughs thrown in.

So, that’s Piper Page in a nutshell—part book nerd, part justice warrior, all wrapped up in a witty package. Stick around, because with Piper on the case, there’s never a dull moment in Maplebrook. After all, every good story deserves a sleuth as charming as its setting, don’t you think?
