First line in the book: Crowded behind a table with her two employees and her guest author, Tricia Miles, owner of the Haven't Got a Clue mystery bookstore, held the left end of the sheet cake and flashed her most winning smile.
Taken from the book blurb:
To celebrate her bookstore's anniversary, Tricia Miles hosts book signing for bestselling author Zoë 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 assistant/niece is the only suspect. And 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...
If you are expecting a Tess Gerritsen or even a JD Robb, this is the wrong book for you! The second book in the Booktown Mystery, this is a light, cosy and entertaining murder mystery. As light as it is, I was still taken by surprise at the whodunit at the end. I wonder how many of you can guess who the killer is. It is a well-written book that moves along at a great pace, not so different from the others in the series. I guarantee you won't be sorry you picked up this book. I do love this series and hope that Barrett will bring back Tricia Miles in the future!
