Series: Booktown Mystery
by Author Lorna Barrett
Book Clubbed (2014)
I like these somewhat quirky characters in this town of used booksellers in New Hampshire. This installment had an odd mystery with a disagreeable victim hiding a deep secret that was unpleasant. I guess the clues were there so the mystery was OK, but I'm totally over the love triangle with Trici...
Not the Killing Type (2013)
This is the seventh in the Booktown Mystery Series and the first one that I have read. The mystery was ok. A man running for president of the town’s Chamber of Commerce is found dead by main character Tricia. (Apparently in other books she has found other dead bodies.) Tricia is supposed to be in...
Murder on the Half Shelf (2012)
Stoneham, NH is where Tricia Miles runs a book store. Her sister conned her into going to a pre opening of a b&b. While there Tricia recognizes someone she thinks. Of her sister brings her dog and while Tricia is walking she finds a body. She calls the police and they arrive keeping everyone ...
UC_Chapter & Hearse (2010)
Another enjoyable mystery in this bookish series by Ms. Barrett.This time, Tricia didn't stumble over a dead body, but, somehow, the appellation "jinx" still tainted her! At first, the explosion at the store across the street from Haven't Got a Clue looked like an accident, but it turned out to ...
Chapter and Hearse (2010)
SUMMARY:Mystery bookstore owner Tricia Miles has been spending more time solving whodunits than reading them. Now a nearby gas explosion has injured Tricia's sister's boyfriend, Bob Kelly, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and killed the owner of the town's history bookstore. Tricia's never be...
Sentenced to Death (2011)
I needed something quick and brainless to read, so I chose this! It fit the bill. As far as mysteries go, this "mystery" was the worst of the bunch. After a dramatic catastrophe right off the streets of Wisteria Lane, the characters stumble about their lives and stumble into the plotter's home in...
Sentenced to Death (A Booktown Mystery #5) (2011)
This was ok as a cozy mystery but there are ways to make the characters more distinctive. I listened to the book while driving from Virginia to Florida, and it was just about right for listening while traveling. I might be a little more enthused about the book if I had read the earlier books fi...
Bookmarked For Death (2009)
Barrett continues the predictable sibling rivalry plot line in this second book of the series. Although it may be perceived as cute or realistic to some readers, the sarcastic tone of the dialogue wore thin by the middle of the book. Most of the elements and events, which were continuations of wh...
Murder is Binding (2008)
Divorcee Tricia Miles has moved from NYC to Stoneham, NH to open an independent mystery book store as part of a touristy themed book store filled Main Street. Her nasty next door neighbor, owner of The Cookery Doris Gleason, is murdered and the idiot sheriff decides that Tricia is the prime suspe...
