It's a busy summer in Booktown. Contractor Jim Stark is in great demand: he's overseeing a number of projects, including Angelica Miles's newly constructed building on Main Street, finishing up the new brew pub, and gutting a stone mansion off Main Street that Angelica bought to be the world headquarters for Nigela Ricita Asssociates. It'll house office space where her marketing staff and the rest of the NR Associates clerical personnel will work.

Tricia Miles and Angelica arrive at the mansion before their workday to see how the construction is going. They find the place unlocked and Stark's right-hand man, Sanjay Arya, dead-bludgeoned to death. The loss of the contractor's top man threatens all the projects in the works, which would effectively ruin the expensive marketing plan that the Chamber of Commerce has been working. Is Jim a suspect? (He'd be stupid to kill the person he depends on to keep the projects going.) But Stark also thinks his wife, who was very chummy with Sanjay, might have been cheating on him with the second-in-command, making him a likely suspect.

Once again Tricia finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, but can she find the killer before he or she has the chance to bring the hammer down?

Hope the next books helps Tricia separate some from her over protective sister. And finds happiness.

Could not figure the killer out until the end.

Can’t wait for the next book. Narrator is also wonderful. Concerned Booktown might be running low on victims though.

Love the Booktown series

This was the hardest book to get through, so much so I almost returned it. Trisha was very whiny the entire book.

Not her best storyline

Enjoyed the person reading the book and the story line. The dynamics of the relationships with the characters are well developed.

A questionable character

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

Boring storyline, The story seemed to drag on and didn’t pull me in like others in the series. It didn’t feel like a Lorna Barrett book.

Not great

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

David sounds like a 12 year old boy he’s a graduate student for gosh sakes. Make him sound like a strong male even though he is young . Angelica does not sound like the strong businesswoman she was in the earlier books by Karen White you can’t you have to hear that it’s Tricia or Angelica talking till they say Tricia said. All she does is smoke around and we hear the two martini glasses eating in the dining room what time give her a life outside her sister for heaven sake‘s. Very disappointing. 

Narration

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

Too soft, too manipulated; nothing of our original strong character! Even narrator presents as sappy and weak. Terribly disappointing for a beloved series.

Where did Tricia go?
