It’s almost summer in Notchey Creek, Tennessee, and Harley Henrickson is attending the Antiques and Blooms Festival. Antiques line the streets, flowers fill hanging baskets, and festivalgoers stand in line, waiting to appraise their treasures. Order turns to frenzied excitement when the town’s controversial new resident, Suzanne Clare, presents a rare first-edition printing of Jane Eyre. The book is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, a prize for which many would kill.
On the following morning, Suzanne Clare is found dead in her mansion, and the book is missing. To Sheriff Jed Turner, the woman’s murder appears to be a clear-cut case of burglary-homicide, but Harley is not so sure. Suzanne Clare had many skeletons in her closet, and many enemies among her neighbors. When Harley's friend rockstar Beau Arson is suspected in the woman's murder, she will stop at nothing to prove his innocence.
As bodies begin to accumulate and jealousy, passion, and revenge rear their evil heads, Harley discovers that Charlotte Brontë’s rare first edition is indeed a book of murder.
Includes recipes.
Review:
This is Book 4in the Harley Hendrickson series, and the series keeps getting better, as the characters are allowed more room to expand, and the reader gets a better feel for Harley and those surrounding her. In this case, it is a matter of how well do you know the people around you. When a rare book suddenly appears in their town it illicits a free for all that uncovers varnished truths and lies, and yes, even murder. I love that we get more of Harley's background in this book, and I found myself liking her much more after reading this book! If you're new to the series this is a good book to jump in with, but it can also be read as a stand alone.
The box set of the first 3 book is on sale on Amazon right now as well!
