Now out: Murder by the Seashore

Crooked Lane Books publishes so many enjoyable traditional murder mysteries of which this is one. This time the story centers on a young woman who is opening a bookshop; in my opinion, the best kind of store. It should be part of a dream job in process except:

Scarlett’s boyfriend is no longer part of her life.

She finds a body.

She is left some money and…

could be a suspect and

this may just complicate things.

Here is a good story, a good setting, good characters and a bookstore. What more could traditional fans want? This is one to enjoy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
