Velma's Clues Cozy Mystery Book Club: Murder Is Binding by Lorna Barrett

We continue our Cozy Mystery Book Club. Every month the club reads a cozy mystery that is the first one in a series. You may come in person to the program, or attend virtually using Microsoft Teams. Contact Judy Coon to get the Team sign-in information. This month's selection is Murder Is Binding by Lorna Barrett. This is the first book in the Booktown Mystery Series.

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.
