Mystery Cozy

Sassy and Bridgy are donating some books to the library book sale. Sassy had just pulled into the parking lot when she sees a man who looks just like her former boss, George. Carrying a load of books, Sassy has just pulled open the door when she hears a woman yelling at someone. Then a man comes running out the door; it is the man who looks like George.

Inside, Sassy learns the man's name is Alan and he'd been harangued before by Tanya, a new volunteer. No one in the library knows why she is there but they have nicknamed her Tanya Trouble.

Sassy calls George that afternoon and learns that Alan is his brother. They've lost touch since Alan returned from war with PTSD and dropped out of sight.

Later, Tanya is found dead in her hot tub and Alan is picked up for her murder. George, his wife and his sister all come down to Florida to do what they can for him.

Responding to the need to clear Alan of the charges against him, Sassy and Bridgy jump into action. Whenever they can get away from their bookstore/cafe, Read 'Em and Eat, they are investigating the murder of Tanya.

This book is the second in the Read 'Em and Eat mysteries by Ms. Moran. She writes an engrossing series peopled with characters one would like to know. The mystery was interesting and keeps the reader guessing as Sassy and Bridgy keep their bookstore in business at the same time as they find a killer.
