LOVED IT,

This review is from: Bookmarked For Death (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed the second installment of this series. Ms. Barrett does a great job of developing these characters and we are getting to know the townspeople even better and the relationship between Tricia and her sister is hilarious and relatable. I appreciate that there is a logical reason why Tricia gets involved in the investigation and this makes the story more believable. Plus there are some great recipes at the back that are mentioned in the story. Grab this one and curl up on a rainy day. You won't be disappointed.

A good rollicking whodunit ...,

This review is from: Bookmarked For Death (Mass Market Paperback)
Stoneham, New Hampshire was one of those towns whose reputation was gained not by its long gone founder nor any battle once waged on its ground, but by the number of bookstores lining its streets. Tricia "Trish" Miles, the proprietor of the Haven't Got a Clue mystery bookstore, could proudly say she contributed to the reputation. Of course Miss Marple, her cat, might just want to raise a paw as she was the one who really ran the store. Book scouts the likes of Larry McMurtry would have a field day in Stoneham, but as a rule the typical buyer tended to be a local bookworm or occasional tourist.Gossips usually provide enough fodder to keep a small town like Stoneham going for a while, but recently it was the Canada goose population that was wreaking havoc. Just as the poop crisis was beginning to get out of control, something else hit the fan and then there was real trouble. Zoë Carter, big time author, was at Haven't Got a Clue for a book signing. It seemed like everyone in town was there from the members of the Tuesday Night Book Club to Zoë's nasty niece Kimberly. It might be said that a few people, including Zoë, could have taken a few lessons in social skills, but just as things started to tone down, the big time author turned up missing. Where in heck did that gal disappear to? A quick search of the store found Ms Carter trussed-up like a Christmas goose at a banquet . . . on the commode no less The nonplused Tricia and Miss Marple had yet another murder to solve. Sheriff Wendy Adams was NOT amused. The most recent corpse had a knife sticking in her back and Tricia "discovered" that one as well. With half the town in the store for the big event narrowing down the prime suspect would take some doing. Stoneham, we have a problem and it isn't goose poop. BOOKMARKED FOR DEATH is the second installment of the Booktown Mystery series, a series that will quickly gain a dedicated readership. If anyone has the formula for a frolicking fun mystery down pat it's Lorna Barrett. The read is light and sheer entertainment. The characters were not heavily fleshed-out, but because I live in a small town I "recognized" them all. CSI buffs need not apply here, but if you want a good rollicking read, by all means, pick up a copy.

This is the second book in the Booktown Mystery series.Tricia Miles, the owner of Haven't Got a Clue, holds a book signing and the author is found dead in her store. Sheriff Adams is not doing enough to solve this crime which leads Tricia to take matters in her own hands. I really enjoy this series. It's funny, light, and quite entertaining.
