Good books don't give up all their secrets at once. Neither does the island of Nantucket. A cozy mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Frost, Cynthia Ellingsen, Cindy Bell and CeeCee James When Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie Prouty, a.k.a. Angie, abandons her fiance? and her analyst job at a big Manhattan investment firm, she doesn't expect to end up back where she started-the island of Nantucket. It's not every day you get a chance to open a bookstore, complete with bookmark-eating cats and cantankerous great-aunts. Especially when your childhood friends agree to provide you with the world's best pastries from their bakery down the street. Everything goes great until one of the locals turns up dead on the fourth of July, the sound of the gunshots covered by the local fireworks display. But did it have to happen right after Angie delivered a book to his home making her a prime suspect? Angie and every gossip on the island, including her great-aunt and her friends, are on the case. But trying to discover the truth is going to take more than a simple murder investigation. Someone's guilty and the deadly secret might cut closer to home than anyone wants to admit. Being an amateur detective is harder than it looks, even when you've been named after the Queen of Crime.… (more)

I love the titles in this series. Every one that I have seen is a take off from a famous book. While I did like the story line, Ms. Sweet needs to get herself another editor as there were too many grammatical mistakes in this book. ( )

I received this copy from NewInBooks.com.

A fast mystery read. Angie is the owner of a bookstore/pastry shop in Nantucket with her great-Aunt Margery who she also lives with. Everyone knows each other and the murder of a businessman who wants to raise everyone's rent -- including her own. It gets interesting when all the main characters, who knew each other since kindergarten, get involved in who murdered him and it how it was a love triangle from years ago.

I will probably read the sequel which comes out in 2018 to see what's next. ( )
