New mystery bookstore owner, Tricia Miles is having a bad month. First off, her estranged sister Angelica has decided to visit and tries to horn in on her new business. Then a fellow bookstore owner is found murdered in her shop...just one door down from Tricia's place. And for some unknown reason, the local sheriff is convinced that Tricia did it, even when her own store is vandalized. Poor Tricia is trying to dissuade her sister from moving to town, trying to fend off an amorous neighbor, trying to cater to her customers and now she is forced to prove her own innocence.

As a fellow bibliophile, I loved the book references and had even read some of them. Tricia and even Angelica were likeable and interesting characters with some problems which can be worked out in future books. I will definitely be returning to Stoneham, New Hampshire for more booky adventures.
