Murder Is Binding

Overview

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.


"Move over Cabot Cove. Lorna Barrett's new cozy creation, Murder Is Binding, has it all: wonderful old books, quirky characters, a clever mystery, and a cat named Miss Marple!"
--Roberta Isleib, author of Preaching to the Corpse and the Advice Column Mysteries

"A mystery bookstore in a sleepy New England town, a cat named Miss Marple, a nasty murder and a determined heroine make Barrett's delightful debut mystery everything a cozy lover could want and more. Bravo!"
--Leann Sweeney, author of the Yellow Rose Mystery Series

• Good rainy day read

  This was my first Lorna Barrett mystery and I liked it even though I was constantly comparing it the the Haunted Bookshop series by Alice Kimberly. While Ms. Barrett is not quite as good as Ms. Kimberly, I think you will find this book an enjoyable cozy mystery. I am planning to read her next installment soon.
