Stoneham, New Hamphshire is known far and wide as Booktown,
for all the bookstores and book-related businesses located
in the picturesque burg. Tricia Miles owns "Haven't A
Clue," the bookstore dedicated to mysteries, and is
discovering that her fascination for mysteries has led her
to solving one or two in the town. So it came as no
surprise that she would be knee-deep in another mystery,
but never dreamed it would hit so close to home this
time.
Tricia knew the day was going to be a doozy when she was
forced to confront her college roommate, Pammy, about
stealing money from her. Asking her to leave and find
somewhere else to live, Tricia was sure that Pammy would be
ok, after all she had a knack for taking care of herself.
But when taking out the trash at Booked For Lunch, her
sister's new café, Tricia discovers Pammy's body, headfirst
in the dumpster -- and the day turns from bad to worse!
While searching for clues to clear her own name as a
suspect in Pammy's murder, Tricia discovers that Pammy was
a free-gan, she foraged through dumpsters to find food that
other's had thrown out. And searching further, Tricia
discovers that this is not unusual, even in the small town
of Stoneham -- that many others relied up on foraging, plus
the town's food and clothes bank to help them survive.
But what else was Pammy searching for, and was her killer
watching Tricia as she tries to piece the clues together?
Looks like it was going to take a head-first dive into this
mystery for Tricia to be able to find the real answers.
