<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A local election becomes complicated when a candidate is murdered and bookshop owner Tricia Miles must clear her sister's name and find the real killer in the seventh installment of the New York Times best-selling mystery series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the latest <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Booktown Mystery, amateur sleuth and bookstore owner Tricia Miles gets caught up in a local election that turns lethal . . .</b> <p/>It's November in Stoneham, New Hampshire, and time for the Chamber of Commerce elections. The long-standing Chamber president is being challenged by a former lover--Tricia's own sister, Angelica. Also throwing his hat in the ring is small business owner Stan Berry. Unfortunately, Stan isn't in the race for long. <p/>When Stan is found murdered, his political rivals become suspects. Angelica is going to need more than a vote of confidence from her sister--she needs Tricia to clear her name so she can win the election. <p/>Tricia soon uncovers a ballot box full of lies and betrayals, and a chamber full of people who had grudges against the victim. But were they serious enough to lead to murder? It's up to Tricia to pull the lever on a killer before it's curtains for someone else.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling Booktown Mysteries: </b> <p/>"Fans of Carolyn Hart and Denise Swanson, rejoice!...This first-rate cozy artfully blends crime, cuisine, and even bookselling in a cheerful, witty, well-plotted puzzler."--Julia Spencer-Fleming, Edgar(R) finalist and author of <i>One Was a Soldier</i> <p/>"Lorna Barrett's new cozy creation...has it all: wonderful old books, quirky characters, a clever mystery, and a cat named Miss Marple!"--Roberta Isleib, author of <i>Asking for Murder</i> <p/>"A mystery bookstore in a sleepy New England town, a cat named Miss Marple, a nasty murder, and a determined heroine make Barrett's delightful debut mystery everything a cozy lover could want and more.
