Four women, one book club, and a murder...

When café owner Hazel Thompson and her friends -- reserved librarian Libby Moore, former socialite Daphne Sinclair, and sarcastic bookshop clerk Charlie Banks -- select a classic whodunit for their first book club meeting, they never imagine fiction becoming reality. But the morning after christening themselves "The Deadly Delights," Hazel discovers the cantankerous owner of Page Turners bookstore, Gordon Hargrove, dead among the shelves -- with a bloodied copy of their book club selection by his side.

Though the police dismiss it as an accident, the four friends aren't convinced. Gordon had plenty of enemies -- disgruntled customers, unpaid suppliers, and even his own nephew who stood to inherit the store. As they start investigating, their amateur sleuthing lands them in increasingly dangerous -- and sometimes hilarious -- situations.

When Hazel's disastrous attempt at subtle interrogation leaves Detective Ethan Graves with coffee-soaked pants, when Charlie discovers a coded ledger hinting at rare book forgeries, and when Daphne tackles a suspect with a stiletto heel, the women realize they've stirred up more than small-town gossip. Someone in Plotwick is willing to kill to keep their secrets hidden, and the Deadly Delights have just become the next targets.

Can this book club solve their first real murder before one of them becomes the next victim? And will Charlie ever admit that her constant sparring with the handsome detective might be about more than just solving the case?

A MURDER MOST NOVEL is the first in a delightful new cozy mystery series that combines bibliophile delights, small-town charm, and the unbeatable sleuthing power of female friendship.
