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.

SUMMARY

From the national bestselling author of Well Read, Then Dead comes the second mystery featuring Sassy Cabot and Bridgy Mayfield, who bring Fort Myers Beach, Florida, residents plenty of sinful treats and killer reads at their bookstore café, Read ’Em and Eat.

Happy to help her fellow bibliophiles, Sassy visits the local library with book donations for their annual fundraising sale. Unfortunately, the welcoming readers’ haven is in turmoil as an argument erupts between an ornery patron and new staff member, Tanya Lipscombe—also known as “Tanya Trouble.” She may lack people skills, but everyone is shocked when she’s later found murdered in her own hot tub.

The man last seen arguing with Tanya is soon arrested. But Alan Mersky, a veteran with PTSD, happens to be the brother of Sassy’s former boss—and he’s no murderer. Now it’s up to Sassy and Bridgy to clear Alan’s name and make sure the real killer gets booked.
