Booked for Murder — P.J. Nelson

A wonderfully rich narrative that ricochets between the past and the present, reminding us just how complex life can be. —firstCLUEP.J.Nelson’s Booked for Murder is like slipping beneath a cherished comforter filled with memories and emotions. What could be better than a small-town bookstore—with a black cat and a hint of lingering ghosts in the village of Enigma, Georgia. Madeline Brimley has inherited her aunt’s bookstore and home and a passion for theater. But the inheritance comes with more than Madeline bargained for. Nelson draws you into the story with terrific writing, unique characters, spot-on descriptions—and arson. Nelson knows how to spin a tale and hooked me with the first paragraph. Highly recommended. —Carolyn Haines, USA Today bestselling author of the Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series
