Bookmarked for Death by Lorna Barrett

Bookmarked for Death by Lorna Barrett
(Booktown Mystery #2)
297 pages / 8 hrs, 24 mins

"Once a struggling town, Stoneham, New Hampshire is now enjoying a renaissance--thanks to booksellers like Tricia Miles, proprietor of Haven't Got a Clue. It's a great place to find a good mystery to read--or to solve...

"To celebrate her bookstore's anniversary, Tricia Miles hosts a book signing for bestselling author Zoe Carter. But the event takes a terrible turn when the author is found dead in the washroom. Before long, both police and reporters are demanding the real story. So far, the author's obnoxious assistant/niece is the only suspect. And with a sheriff who provides more obstacles than answers, Tricia will have to take matters into her own hands--and read between the lines to solve this mystery..."  --from the publisher

On the whole it's not a bad cozy mystery, but if errors in the details bother you then skip this one. For example, if a character complains about having pizza again for supper, then s/he needs to have eaten pizza at least one time prior to that comment. The series is on Hoopla so that makes it convenient to borrow, but I'd prefer to find something else. I gave it three out of five stars.
