I'm a big reader, especially books about books! When I go to thrift stores to find old or unusual books for my online shop, I also look for interesting things to read for fun. I found a book called 'Murder is Binding' at a thrift store, and it turned out to be the first in a series I'd never heard of. I enjoyed it a lot! Since then, I've read about twelve books in the series, but I've been reading them in whatever order I find them at thrift stores. However, I recently ordered that last few books on amazon and read them in order.
The Premise
The Booktown Mystery Series by Lorna Barrett centers around Tricia Miles, a savvy businesswoman who owns "Haven't Got a Clue," a mystery bookstore in the quaint New Hampshire town of Stoneham. This town has rebranded itself as a "Booktown," attracting bibliophiles and tourists. However, amidst the charming bookstores and literary events, Tricia frequently finds herself entangled in real-life mysteries, often involving murder. As an amateur sleuth, she must navigate the close-knit community, uncover hidden secrets, and clear her name or those of her friends, all while running her bookstore. Essentially, it's a cozy mystery series set in a book-lover's paradise, where fictional mysteries become all too real.
