Synopsis

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?

That said, the side story of a possible roman......more

Goodreads review by Jeanne on July 22, 2023

A very generous 3 stars. It’s really pretty bad. There’s literally no story. Just lots of walking around and having meals. Lots of dangling plot lines that go nowhere and lots of unanswered questions. It’s time for this series to end.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 23, 2023

Good story I really hoped that this was a five star book, but to me, it's more of a 4 star. I really like this series, but I found myself reading the same old thing in this book, Angelica and Tricia argue, they discover a murder victim, Tricia usually solves the mystery, and both sisters complain abou......more

I love this series but this one wasn’t really for me. It was so hard to get into and I don’t think I ever really did.......more

Goodreads review by Laura on August 14, 2023

I really really wish I could give more stars. This is the series that got me started with modern cosy mysteries. I just wish the author will finally put a final chapter to this series and will start another one from scratch. Tricia's behavior doesn't even make sense anymore. She fell in love with ha......more
