The New York Times bestselling author of Not the Killing Type is back in Booktown with another page-turning mystery. Bookstore owner Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, must put their problems on the shelf to catch a killer who turns a bookcase into a murder weapon…
After cranky Chamber of Commerce receptionist Betsy Dittmeyer is crushed by a fallen bookcase, the next item to be read is her will, which is packed with surprises. It seems Betsy was hiding volumes of secrets behind her perpetual frown—one of which might have been a motive for murder.
While Tricia tries to help Angelica—the newly elected Chamber of Commerce president—solve the mystery, she discovers a hidden chapter in her own family history. And with her ex-husband and the chief of police vying for her affections, it’s doubly hard to focus on who buried Betsy in a tomb of tomes.
But Tricia and Angelica will need to watch their step carefully to make sure the killer doesn’t catch them between the stacks.
I enjoy catching up with Tricia and the crew, and the latest in the Booktown series even added a few details to the history of the Miles sisters. The plot had a lot of twists and turns and although I guessed the who in whodunit early on in the book, I didn't foresee the why. A fun, quick read, but I fear this is heading towards the dreaded love triangle that has ruined a few series for me (Hello? Joanne Fluke?)I really hope some fantastic non-stalking not-busy prince on a horse gallops up in the next one to put a stop to any long drawn-out battle for the fair Tricia's affections. She's got enough to deal with.
