Dangerous
Type
A movie star is typecast as a killer in the second Dangerous Type Mystery
from the New York Times bestselling author of To Helvetica and
Back.
It’s January, and the Star City Film Festival has taken the Utah ski resort
town by storm. Movie stars are everywhere, carving fresh powder on the slopes
and crossing the thresholds of Bygone Alley’s charming boutique shops—including
The Rescued Word, where Clare Henry and her grandfather restore old typewriters
and beloved books. When cinema’s hottest superhero, Matt Bane, enters their
store to buy some personalized notecards, it’s hard not to be starstruck.
But when Clare sees the police leading Matt out of The Fountain hotel in
handcuffs only a few hours later, she can’t believe her eyes. The affable actor
is accused of killing his sister, but Clare’s convinced he’s wrong for that
role. Now it’s open call for suspects as Clare tries to reel in the killer
before another victim fades to black...

Paige Shelton was born in Nevada, Missouri, but wasn’t there long.
After a childhood full of many moves, and high school and college in Des
Moines, Iowa, she landed in Salt Lake City, Utah. There she met and married her
husband, had a son, and worked at a variety of advertising-like jobs.
She can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be a writer and loves every
moment she spends with her characters and their mysterious ways.
And if you missed the first in the series...
Dangerous Type
Mystery
The New York Times bestselling author of the Farmers’ Market
Mysteries and the Country Cooking School Mysteries introduces readers to Star
City, Utah, and a little shop called the Rescued Word...
Star City is known for its slopes and its powder. But nestled in the valley
of this ski resort town is a side street full of shops that specialize in the
simple charms of earlier eras. One of those shops is the Rescued Word, where
Chester Henry and his adult granddaughter Clare lovingly repair old typewriters
and restore old books. Who ever thought their quaint store would hold the key to
some modern-day trouble?
When a stranger to town demands they turn over an antique Underwood
typewriter they’re repairing for a customer, Clare fears she may need to
be rescued. A call to the police scares the man off, but later Clare finds his
dead body in the back alley. What about a dusty old typewriter could possibly be
worth killing for?

I love a good mystery and romance.

I took a keyboarding class in the tenth grade that I loved.
I loved learning how to type.
(Tanja Dancy 6:59pm February 26, 2017)
I had a typewriter just like that when I was younger and
learning to type. What a unique and ideal cover.

I took a typing class during the summer before going into
sixth grade and my Dad bought me a typewriter with a really
neat snap on lid. Loved it!
(Teresa Ward 7:15pm February 26, 2017)
Old typewriters are wonderful. Your book sounds great.
(Nancy Reynolds 2:05pm February 27, 2017)
Maybe I'm weird, but I miss typing class and typewriters
themselves. Typewritten pages have a certain beauty and
simplicity.

What an intriguing book! I remember when typing was a required class at school. Knowing how to type is an important skill, even today.

I remember typing up an assignment on a typewriter after drawing and labeling the parts of the flower on a sheet of paper.....maneuvering the paper on that typewriter still stands out in my mind... not to mention I can still remember that assignment after all these years!

Reading a good cozy is my favorite way to relax. This posting brought back memories of the heavy old typewriter we had at home when I was growing up---and not an electric one either.
(Sue Farrell 3:20pm February 28, 2017)
I took typing in high school on a typewriter just like that oh and the mistakes and you had to start over
(Jeri Dickinson 7:02pm February 28, 2017)
I HATED manual typewriters. LOVED the electric ones, but
when I started college, they were so big and bulky, it
wasn't even funny. Had to get a boyfriend to lug it up the
stairs to my dorm room. Was so happy when word processors
came out!!
(Marcia Berbeza 8:26pm February 28, 2017)
I remember finally getting an electric typewriter when I
went off to college -- sure made all those term papers a
whole lot easier to write.
