The streets of Stoneham, New Hampsire are lined with bookstores...and paved with murder.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.

2.5 stars eh, this was alright. I know this was an older cozy, but some of the words used in this novel were really offensive. I'm not sure if I want to keep reading this series.
Tricia Miles is brand new in Stoneham, NJ and when Doris Gleason, the owner of the cookbook store, the neighbor of her own mystery bookstore, is killed, Tricia soon becomes the first suspect.
I enjoyed reading this book since I felt I learned a lot about Tricia, her sister and other characters that will, I am pretty sure, be back in next books. I would really like to visit a place as the one described in this book: a town where many used bookstores offer different genres of books. I look forward to read the next in the series.
Not bad but not great. The main character alternated between dumb as dirt and snobby busybody. Wasn't a fan of her sister either, but the other side characters were fun. Mrs. Marple was a favorite. Though I don't get why Mr. Everett can't have a first name? This isn't 1951. Anyway, the mystery was decent enough, though I figured out a couple of the twists way earlier than any of the characters.
I do love the idea of a tourist town with a row of bookstores so I'm willing to overlook some of the surface issues and maybe read book 2 in this series.
