Murder of a Bookstore Babe / Denise Swanson / 254 pages

"When Skye Denison saw an ad in the local newspaper announcing Tales and Treats' grand opening that weekend, she was thrilled.  For a voracious reader like Skye, the luxury of having shelves and shelves of new, used, and rare books for sale just five minutes from home was nirvana.  And the promise of specialty coffees, gourmet teas, and yummy pastries just added to her elation."  Skye is a school psychologist engaged to the chief of police Scumble River, Illinois.  While Wally applies for an annulment of his first marriage, Simon, Skye's former fiance, is trying to win her back.  Skye becomes involved in the investigation of a murder at the new bookstore.  She questions many of her wacky family members to ascertain innocence and alibis.  Chapter headings are actually titles of literary classics.  This is a most enjoyable, cozy read.
