"Berkley Prime Crime mystery"--Spine.
When she moved to Stoneham, city slicker Tricia Miles met nothing but friendly faces. And when she opened her mystery bookstore, she met friendly competition. But when she finds Doris Gleason dead in her own cookbook store, killed by a carving knife, the atmosphere seems more cutthroat than cordial. Someone wanted to get their hands on the rare cookbook that Doris had recently purchased-and the locals think that someone is Tricia. To clear her name, Tricia will have to take a page out of one of her own mysteries-and hunt down someone who isn't killing by the book.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Both this & Bookmarked For Death submitted by ValerieL on June 16, 2017, 7:31pm Murder is Binding & Bookmarked for Death both by Lorna Barrett are the first and second books in her Booktown Mystery series. I'm doing them both together because I felt much the same about both so I figured I'd save people reading two posts with the same basic review.

These two books were okay. I really enjoy the main character of the series, but some of the characters are really annoying. The plots are not very complex and I figured out the villain fairly easily in both books.

I don't know how I really feel about the series. I do like some of the characters, including the main character, but the plot line being so easy to figure out detracts from the enjoyment. I think I'll keep reading the series for now and hope that they get better than these two.
