Tricia Miles has invited a local author to appear at her bookstore, Haven't Got a Clue. Everyone is stunned when the author, Zoe Carter, is found strangled to death in the bathroom of the bookstore. Sherrif Wendy Adams seems determined to keep Tricia's business closed as long as possible without really doing much in the way of investigation. Tricia decided that if she wants to keep her business open she had better find out more about the elusive author and why someone might have wanted to kill her.
Stoneham, New Hampshire seems like an ideal place to live for book lovers and Tricia's bookstore sounds like a heavenly retreat. This is the second in Lorna Barret's Booktown Mystery series. I think I may have liked this one even better than the first. For one thing, the relationship between Tricia and her sister, Angelica, is much calmer and less acrimonious than in the previous book. I also like the relationship between Tricia and Russ, although it has its rocky moments, it is realistic. I will be looking forward to the next addition to this series.
Rating - 4.5 stars
