Join us as we wrap up Summer with Little Bookshop of Murder by Maggie Blackburn\, the firs t in the Beach Reads Mystery series.
\nSummer Merriweather&rsquo\;s plans to spend her summer vacation full of Shakespeare and scholarly prest ige are cut short after her mother&rsquo\;s death\, from an apparent heart attack. She returns home for the funeral and to sell her mom&rsquo\;s emb arrassingly romance-themed bookstore\, Beach Reads. At least that was the plan until she goes in Beach Reads and finds a note addressed to her mothe r: &ldquo\;Sell the bookstore or die.&rdquo\;
\nClearly\, something is rotten on Brigid&rsquo\;s Island. The police insist there&rsquo\;s not enough evidence to launch a murder investigation. Instead\, Summer and her Aunt Agatha screw their courage to the sticking place and start sleuthing . But there are more suspects than are dreamt of in the Bard&rsquo\;s dark est philosophizing. And if Summer can&rsquo\;t find the villain\, the town will be littered with a Shakespearean tragedy&rsquo\;s worth of corpses&m dash\;including her own.
