Book of Interest: Little Bookshop of Murder

I'm almost finished reading Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived by Paul S. Kemp and should have my review up this week. I was thinking that my next read should be a mystery. Whether it's a book already sitting on my shelf or something new like this book I found, Little Bookshop of Murder by Maggie Blackburn. It has Summer Merriweather, a professor of Shakespeare Studies trying to determine if her mother Hildy, who owned a bookstore, was murdered or died of natural causes. The description seems interesting especially with her mother's book club helping Summer to investigate.

Book: Little Bookshop of Murder (A Beach Reads Mystery book #1) by Maggie Blackburn

Description:

A Shakespearean scholar inherits a beachside bookshop—and a murder mystery—in this delightful new cozy series for fans of Kate Carlisle and Ellery Adams

Summer Merriweather’s career as a Shakespeare professor hangs by a bookbinder’s thread. Academic life at her Virginia university is a viper’s pit, so Summer spends her summer in England, researching a scholarly paper that, with any luck, will finally get her published, impress the Dean, and save her job. But her English idyll ends when her mother, Hildy, shuffles off her mortal coil from an apparent heart attack.

Returning to Brigid’s Island, North Carolina, for the funeral, Summer is impatient to settle the estate, sell Beach Reads—her mom’s embarrassingly romance-themed bookstore—and go home. But as she drops by Beach Reads, Summer finds threatening notes addressed to Hildy: “Sell the bookstore or die.”

Clearly, something is rotten on Brigid’s Island. What method is behind the madness? Was Hildy murdered? The police insist there’s not enough evidence to launch a murder investigation. Instead, Summer and her Aunt Agatha screw their courage to the sticking place and start sleuthing, with the help of Hildy’s beloved book club. But there are more suspects on Brigid’s Island than are dreamt of in the Bard’s darkest philosophizing. And if Summer can’t find the villain, the town will be littered with a Shakespearean tragedy’s worth of corpses—including her own.
