Can't Judge a Book by Its Murder
A Main Street Book Club
Mystery
Amy Lillard
Review by Author Roy
Murry
I have read many cozy mysteries,
and this one hit some of the right buttons. However, the Book Club concept
members will not continue in my readings.
Arlo owns a bookstore and receives a call that a man died in front of her establishment. The man committed suicide, or was it murdered, says the local police.
Chloe, Arlo's friend and partner in the bookstore, is arrested - all clues lead to her being the killer, says the police chief. Arlo and the club members go about investigating the crime.
Small-town relations go amuck and conflict with the dead man's wife and assistant. These quarrels and investigations lead to a tongue slip, revealing the unlikely killer to Arlo.
Ms. Lillard's writing is good, but I needed a timeline I could follow. Also, the characters of the book club needed more depth for Book #1 in the series.
