There was so much to love in this novel! A mystery manuscript in addition to the murder, and the side characters really set this book apart for me. I am so in love with grandma and her friends. I can't wait to see what career develops with the football baker. And Sam's lawyer sister was awesome! And the detail about protesting the country club's racist policies was a great detail. Just an amazing novel!
Samantha Washington's husband has passed and she has taken on the task of opening a bookstore which was a shared dream of theirs. While turning the recently purchased building into a home and the future Market Street Mysteries bookstore a body is found in her backyard...a body of the man who listed the building she purchased and was a person she despised. Who killed Clayton Parker and why was he left in her backyard?
Samantha is not only opening her own bookstore but she is also an aspiring cozy mystery author. In the midst of an actual mystery, she is writing one.
This definitely made for an interesting read as you delve into 2 separate mysteries in one book. It took me a little bit to get used to reading a book within a book but once I got into the flow I really enjoyed it.
The characters are heartwarming and very down-to-earth. Nana Jo and her sidekicks had me laughing. This is going to be a fun series to continue.
