MURDER IS BINDING (Lorna Barrett)

New Hampshire, quaint themed book stores, quirky neighbors, a victim who just happens to have an identical twin, and a cat named Miss Marple...what more could a mystery reader ask?  Trish Miles, owner of  a mystery book shop, "Haven't Got a Clue," is horrified to discover a smoldering fire and fellow bookseller Doris Gleason with a knife in her back on the floor of "The Cookery," the shop next door.  Trish is immediately pegged by the local police as the prime suspect in the crime, so she and her contentious visiting sister, Angelica, set out to clear Tricia's name.  Attempting to track down the origins of a rare cookbook stolen from Doris' store, the sudden appearance of Deirdre, Doris' identical twin, and dealing with the collapse of Angela's 5th marriage make Trish wonder why she ever thought that moving to Stoneham, NH after her divorce was a good idea.  This is the first in Lorna Barrett's new Booktown Mystery series.  It's a first rate cozy and will appeal to almost anyone who loves the genre.
