Synopsis
From the national bestselling author of Well Read, Then Dead comes the second mystery featuring Sassy Cabot and Bridgy Mayfield, who bring Fort Myers Beach, Florida, residents plenty of sinful treats and killer reads at their bookstore café, Read ’Em and Eat.
Happy to help her fellow bibliophiles, Sassy visits the local library with book donations for their annual fundraising sale. Unfortunately, the welcoming readers’ haven is in turmoil as an argument erupts between an ornery patron and new staff member, Tanya Lipscombe—also known as “Tanya Trouble.” She may lack people skills, but everyone is shocked when she’s later found murdered in her own hot tub.
The man last seen arguing with Tanya is soon arrested. But Alan Mersky, a veteran with PTSD, happens to be the brother of Sassy’s former boss—and he’s no murderer. Now it’s up to Sassy and Bridgy to clear Alan’s name and make sure the real killer gets booked.
Includes a recipe for Miss Marple scones!
Review
This is the second book in this series and I will have to say I had no clue who to suspect until some clues were sort of dropped near the end. I did suspect this person at one point earlier but just because something seemed off. I will say there were not a lot of people that could have done it so you might be able to figure it out.
The book seemed light on the mystery and more on veteran’s affairs/rights which I think brought it out into the open, that they need our help. Then there was the anaconda that needed to be caught and disposed of one way or another and it had many of the citizens in the town divided on the issue – should it be killed or captured and moved elsewhere?
The book was enjoyable and I’ll check out the next book. We give this one 3 1/2 paws
