Book Club Bloodshed

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS MEETS THE LADIES WHO LUNCH…
The SECOND delicious entry in the Missy DeMeanor cozy mystery series

Oh, no! Not a self-published cozy as a book club selection! So thinks snarky Anne, the snottiest member of the contentious book club author Brianna Bates has so slyly created. Member Noreen feels—really really strongly!--that Anne’s a big old rich-witch snob. But seriously—is that a motive for murder?

It has to be asked! Because Anne’s lying dead in the library parking lot, only minutes after she and Noreen nearly come to blows over the value of “literature” over “genre.” A nasty catfight if you were there— but as yummy as the club’s favorite pinot grigio if you’re lucky enough to be reading about it!

The timing’s unfortunate, but maybe it’s not the only motive for murder. It seems Anne had more or less gone out of her way to offend every single woman in the book club. She had stolen someone’s boyfriend and married him, bought land another wanted, and fired a third member’s brother. The kind of woman whose every cashmere sweater has a target on it.

Bookclub Bloodshed is sure to delight the most voracious of cozy mystery bookworms, who’ll cheer for curvaceous, brave Missy as she slides perilously on the slippery slope of an investigation involving her best friend and her own love life.

Pitted against her high school sweetheart—and renewed love interest—chief detective Tyler Brock, our amateur sleuth has two tricky jobs—to prevent her friend from being booked for murder while rekindling romance with the guy who wants to book her.

Cozy mystery readers who proudly consider themselves a little nerdy and bookworm-y will eat this one up, as will devout fans of Carolyn Hart’s Death on Demand series, or really any fans of bright female sleuth mystery series, page-turning, easy-to-read cozies, chick lit mysteries, and romantic suspense. If you like Gina LaManna, Jana DeLeon, Mary Daheim, and Leighann Dobbs, we dare you not to fall in love with Missy (and her adorable dog Cody)!
