Dead Between the Lines, Denise Swanson, 264 pages

This is the third book in the  Devereaux's Dime Store mystery series.  After she opens the Dime Store for an after hours book discussion group, a dead body is found behind Devereaux's store.  She pokes around in the investigation with help from her two beau's, Jake and Noah.  The mystery is interesting as Devereaux, Jake and Noah interview and eliminate suspects, but the romance triangle is a bit tiring.  Even though this is the third book in the series it can stand on it's own without reading the previous two books.

I started reading Denise Swanson's first mystery series set in Scumble River after she was noted in a magazine article featuring University of Illinois alumni.  Both mystery series have local color.  Scumble River is just south of Chicago and Devereaux's Dime Store is just east of Kansas City.
