Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Ellie Ashe....

When Meri Sinclair inherited Dangerous Reads, she didn’t just get a bookshop. She inherited a legacy. It’s Danger Cove’s only bookstore, and her grandmother had made sure that it's a warm and friendly places for readers of all ages.

Determined to get off on the right foot, Meri has organized a series of author readings, starting off with Cal Montague, a Danger Cove native who grew up to become a solid B-list actor, and his tell-all his memoirs, Tales I Shouldn’t Tell. Only the actor turns out to be a difficult diva, and before the inaugural event can even start, Meri finds the guest of honor in the alley - shot dead. Turns out someone else thought Cal shouldn't be telling tales, too.

With motive and opportunity, the police have Meri in their sights. To save her business and her own skin, Meri turns to her small staff of part-time employees for help. Along with some assistance from Danger Cove’s hot new veterinarian, Meri, sets out to help the Danger Cove police - whether they appreciate it or not - before the murderer returns for a sequel.

I'm hooked!

This is the first book of the series that I've read (even though it is the 10th in the series), and I am HOOKED. This is one of the best cozy mysteries I've read in awhile. In fact, it was so good that I kept finding myself spending more time reading and extending my "down time" than I'd planned. Ha, ha, ha. The characters are quirky, well written, and all individuals. The plot was fantastic, and even if you guess who it is early, the story is fun to watch unfold. I highly recommend this book, and I can't wait to purchase the rest of the series!
