Zoe Pascal, who runs the bookshop, is ready for a busy weekend recommending books to tourists and locals alike.
But the festivities have barely begun before Zoe and her loyal companion, Russell the dog, discover a body in an abandoned house behind her bookshop.
The police are quick to decide that they're investigating a murder. And as they're unable to identify the body, they recruit Zoe to help solve the case.
Is there a killer lurking in the bustling streets of Sainte-Catherine? Who in the village is hiding something? It's up to Zoe to find out, before time runs out...
Review:
This is the third book in the French Village series. As she is settling more into the village, Zoe is planning a shower venture with the local b&b owner and having specialty book selection interviews with his guests. It seems like a brilliant idea when the weekend is booked solid and both are happy with the profit that it's bringing. But as Zoe starts interviewing the guests, she picks up very quickly that all is not what it seems. It seems that multiple guests are hiding why they are actually there at the remote village. Meanwhile, they sudden appearance of someone trying to buy what seems to be a rundown building behind Zoe's. Bookshop causes a slew of interest into who owns a building and why it has been sitting empty when the body is found inside of it. While some things make more sense, a bigger puzzle comes into play. It will take all of Zoe's intuition to help solve this case. Possibly the most styled mystery of the three books. Far, this one is for new fans and old fans. I like of the series. Don't miss this one!
