From the back of the book: Once a struggling town, Stoneham , New Hampshire, is now enjoying a renaissance---thanks to booksellers like Tricia Miles, proprietor of Haven't Got a Clue. It's a great place to find a good mystery to read---or to solve....To celebrate her bookstore's anniversary, Tricia Miles hosts a book signing for bestselling author Zoe Carter. But the event takes a terrible turn when the author is found dead in the washroom. Before long, both police and reporters are demanding the real story. So far, the author's obnoxious assistant/niece is the only suspect. With a sheriff who provides more obstacles than answers, Tricia will have to take matters into her own hands---and read between the lines to solve this mystery....
******************************
A cozy mystery set in a mystery bookshop set in a town full of bookshops...what more can a reader want? What you get here is a cozy mystery with well drawn characters, both the good and the bad, a good mystery and a good reason why the main character, Tricia, needs to solve the murder. The sheriff hasn't much talent, but has a lot of animosity towards Tricia, so isn't in a hurry to clear Haven't Got a Clue as a crime scene. Tricia needs her shop open so she can sell books and make a living. AND be able to get back to her life and home since she lives above the shop.
I'm looking forward to book four BOOKPLATE SPECIAL and #4 CHAPTER AND HEARSE. One is on the nightstand and the other is on its way from Cynthia at High Crimes Mystery Bookshop. I like watching Tricia and her sister bicker and get along, like sisters can and will do. And I want to visit Stoneham, New Hampshire!
Five a-town-full-of-bookshops-is-cool beans.....
