A Killer Edition by Lorna BarrettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
With her assistant, Pixie, picking up more responsibility, Tricia Miles, owner of the Haven’t Got A Clue mystery bookshop, suddenly has a lot more time on her hands. Tricia decides to join the local animal rescue board and enter the Great Stoneham Bake-Off. When Tricia stops by Joyce Whitman's romance bookstore looking for a book, she stumbles on an argument between Joyce and her neighbor Vera Olson. When Vera turns up dead in Joyce's garden hours later, Tricia has to wonder, could Joyce be the killer? Or is the culprit still lurking in town? Tricia is determined to win the cooking contest, but first she will have to make sure no one else is in danger of getting burned.
This cozy mystery was a very intriguing read. I love reading about Tricia and her attempts to better her life and deal with the townspeople. I would love to live in a place like Stoneham with all of its wonderful bookstores. The plot was full of suspense. The mystery had enough twists and turns that I couldn’t figure out who the culprit was until the big reveal. But there was one thing that bothered me, the subject of animal abuse. Even though there were no graphic scenes of said abuse, it was related through the story. Otherwise, another great read!
