Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Booktown Mystery #5
The whole time I was reading this book, I kept going back to the question-- if everyone else could get out of the gazebo, how was it that Deborah just stood there?
Tricia Miles owner of Haven’t Got a Clue of Stoneham, New Hampshire is still reeling from the sudden death of friend Deborah Black, when a plane suddenly falls from the sky and kills her in the middle of her Founder’s Day speech in the town square.
While most of Stoneham thinks it was a freak accident, Tricia’s spidey sense goes into overdrive, especially when Deborah’s not so grieving husband cannot sell off her gift shop fast enough. What is going on with him and more importantly, what does the new real estate company, Nigela Racita Associates, and their sudden interest in Booktown, mean to the shop owners.
This series has a familiar theme that is played out over the cozy genre. The small businesses, the pets, the friends and family all coming together. What makes it slightly different is that the antagonist is not always obvious from the start. You might have an inkling, but there are a couple of rabbit holes before the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
