Publisher's Summary

Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, are copresidents of the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce. Things are changing in the booktown, and some merchants would say not for the better. They grumble that too many non-book-related stores are moving into the village, diluting the “Booktown” moniker. Of course, the members with other businesses, like the latest, The Bee's Knees, are fine with other businesses moving in. No matter what side of the argument they're on, all the business owners agree on one thing: Tricia and Angelica are to blame.

Still, it's a pretty typical day in the life of a small-town Chamber of Commerce until one of the disgruntled bookstore owners is killed—Eli Meier from The Inner Light Bookstore, the most vocal of the Chamber complainers. He sold religious and other spiritual books, but also stocked books on wild conspiracy theories and sold incense, crystals, etc. Eli had never been a member of the Chamber until Angelica recently convinced him to join. He hit on her and she, having good taste, turned him down. He hounded (but not stalked) her, and some might think that was a motive for murder.

Stoneham's new police chief is an old friend of Tricia's, but that doesn't mean he's going to go easy on her sister. One might even say that he's going to throw the book at her.

Another Well Narrated Tale

Cassandra Campbell is one of my favourite narrators of audiobooks, and this one did not disappoint.

The story itself was also good, with elements to it that I did not expect at all. They helped me to keep interested in the story to see how it would all turn out.

I was particularly interested in the secondary story about Pixie's life and to learn more about her.

Also, to include the bit about a 1960s counterculture revolutionary person was interesting, although I would've liked to have seen that part told about a bit more.

This was another good story in the series, and I look forward to the next two that I know about.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
