Publisher Description
V.M. Burns returns with the latest book in her popular Mystery Bookstore mysteries set in a Michigan bookshop specializing in selling murder mysteries!
When the bookshop she owns becomes a crime scene, mystery writer Samantha Washington discovers there is such a thing as bad publicity . . .
After the local library in North Harbor, Michigan, is flooded in a storm, Sam offers her bookstore as a new venue for the Mystery Mavens Book Club. Unfortunately, she immediately runs afoul of the club leader, Delia Marshall, a book reviewer who can make or break careers—something Sam can ill afford with her debut historical mystery soon to be published.
But the next morning, Sam opens her shop to find the unpleasant woman dead on the floor, bashed with a heavy—apparently lethal—tome: the Complete Works of Agatha Christie. While Sam is busy writing her latest British historical mystery in which the queen mother is suspected in the murder of a London Times correspondent, a pair of ambitious cops suspect Sam of the real-life crime. When she gathers Nano Jo and their friends from the Shady Acres Retirement Village to review the case, they discover every one of the Mavens had a motive. With her novel about to hit the stores, Sam must find out who clubbed Delia before a judge throws the book at her . . .

Customer Reviews
Mystery Bookshop Series
I can’t believe that I’ve read all the books in this series and I need MORE!! I loved every one of them and the author makes you feel like you’re in the room with her watching it all. The characters are fantastic! Every one of them. Irma cracks me up, Nana Jo makes me want to be wittier, I could go on and on. I absolutely adore the author and the way she writes. Can’t wait to read more by her.
Enjoyed the main story line
I did not care for the book within a book format of this story. Found it confusing and am not a big fan of books written in a historical setting.
Read it start to finish-what fun!
Thank you for a lovely afternoon. I love bookstores (and they’re getting harder to find), I love murder mysteries, and I love animals; this was a winner start to finish.
