Book Reviews of Murder Is Binding
Book Review: My first "cozy" mystery! Couldn't put it down.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always been somewhat apprehensive about getting started with many "series", cozy or otherwise, as my tastes run towards long detailed historical fiction and suspense. But, I wanted a small, quick lighthearted read for my May 13th trip to Disney. A little flight time and nightime read. Nothing too long, nothing too complicated.
Well, Murder Is Binding never made it that long. My intentions were good, but as soon as I picked it up and read the first several pages, unfortunately I couldn't put it down.
I certainly enjoyed the sibling rivalry between Tricia Miles and her Sister, Angelica. Character development was pretty good and the murder plot, while slightly contrived, even predictable, was thoroughly entertaining. The details were finely descriptive and set the scene for this book and the ones to follow. I could see the shop, Haven't Got a Clue in my minds eye and because I hail from a small village, it was not hard to place myself right smack dab in the middle of main street!
I'd always wanted have my very own used book store on main street in the heart of Madison, IN and to live above the store. It was fun imagining a shop like one I might have had!
I will definitely pick up Barrett's next one, Bookmarked for Death. I'll have to now as a replacement for my "Disney" read! Good luck Lorna on this series.
Summary of Murder Is Binding
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.
