Murder on the Half Shelf

Stoneham, New Hampshire is a haven for bookstores, including Tricia Miles's mystery shop, Haven't Got a Clue, but it is sadly short of places to stay. Pippa and Jon Comfort's Sheer Comfort Inn opens to the public in a week, and the couple offer some locals a free night as a trial run.

What should be a pleasant overnight stay becomes a nightmare when Tricia makes two startling discoveries: Pippa's murdered body in the backyard, and the fact that Pippa's husband Jon is really Harry Tyler, a man Tricia loved — and believed dead — for nearly twenty years.

Murder on the Half Shelf is the sixth Booktown Mystery by Lorna Barrett.
