Description:
Mystery bookstore owner Tricia Miles learns that nothing kills a good party like a murder in the latest entry in the New York Times bestselling Booktown Mysteries.
Tricia Miles, mystery bookstore owner and amateur sleuth, throws a housewarming cocktail party in her new apartment and has cooked all the food by herself--quite a feat for someone who previously couldn't boil water. Then one of her guests is poisoned and dies. Tricia's left to wonder if her cooking is to blame or if there's something much more sinister at play. Either way, Tricia's once again in hot water with her ex-lover, Chief Baker.
Meanwhile the charming town of Stoneham is being disrupted by a vandalism crime wave. It's the hot topic in the race for Chamber of Commerce president which sees Tricia pitted against two bitter rivals. With all that's going on can she find the killer before she's the next item on the menu?
My Thoughts:
This book follows Tricia Miles who has finally having her cocktail party at her newly fixed up apartment. All sorts of residents from town show up. When the guests are departing a gentleman friend of Frannie's winds up choking and dying. The town is wondering what killed him and why at Tricia's party.
Angelica's having her own issues as someone is demanding money or else all her secrets will be made public will Angelica pay or is she finally tired of the secrets in town? When Tricia tries to advise her Angelica shuts down her sister. Deeming to handle it her own way.
Someone else is running around town vandalizing things. Tricia wonders if it is because there is an election for the Chamber president and Tricia thrown in her name as well as Russ Smith who is doing it to spite Tricia along with Chauncey who has bad blood with Tricia. Could it be one of them? Or is someone else out to hurt people?
I love this book it's such fun especially seeing Mr. E and Pixie Poe come into their own and help out where they can. I also loved the out come of the story. Mr. E has his work cut out when he and Grace adopt a cat named Charlie whose at the end of his life/ How much time he has left is anyone's guess but they'd rather have a cat die before they would. The relationships have come so far between the three and they form a great band together!
