Booked for Murder by P.J. Nelson
1.0
Literary Cozy Mystery that finds a Georgia actress's inheritance of her eccentric aunt's bookstore turns deadly after a fire, threats of more and then a college student's murder
1/5 stars: This is the first in Nelson's Old Juniper Bookstore Mystery series which is a Literary Cozy Mystery set in Georgia and features an actress who's inheritance of her eccentric aunt's equally eccentric bookstore housed in an old Victorian mansion in the small college town faces some unexpected challenges. On arrival, the gazebo in the back yard is set ablaze and a late night caller threatens to burn the whole store down if she doesn't leave immediately. But she's not one to be intimidated and ignores the threats. That is until there's another fire and a young college student's murdered in the store. Now with a cloud of suspicion falling over her, it's up to her to untangle the town's deadly secrets and find the killer before she herself is the next victim. Nelson's writing and character work are nicely done. Unfortunately, this just wasn't a book for me; leading me to DNF it at 31%.
