Books from the Backlog - Well Read, Then Dead


Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog.  I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!  Today's book is Well Read, Then Dead by Terrie Farley Moran

Blurb:  Read ’Em and Eat is known for its delicious breakfast and lunch treats, along with quite a colorful clientele. If it’s not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the current book club selection, it’s Miss Augusta Maddox lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the islands. It’s no wonder Sassy’s favorite is Delia Batson, a regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augusta’s cousin and best friend Delia is painfully shy—which makes the news of her murder all the more shocking.

No one is more distraught than Augusta, and Sassy wants to help any way she can. But Augusta doesn’t have time for sympathy. She wants Delia’s killer found—and she’s not taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and she’d better act fast before there’s any more trouble in paradise.

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf:  I loved the 2nd book in the series and actually didn't realize I even had this one until I did a massive book reorganization the other day and found it.

    I read this one when it first released. I remember liking it, in large part due to the setting. It was fun-- hope you get a chance to read it.

    I don't know how many times I try to buy or scroll through my kindle and discover I own a book already. This looks good.

    I find things on my e-reader that I don't remember buying! I'm trying to show some love to these older books!

    I'm trying to remember if I read this one! I know I read Caught Read- Handed and liked it, but I can't remember if I read this one too- I almost think I did. I loved the setting anyway!

    Reorganisation can bring out a few lost gems!

    It's always a real win when you rediscover a book, read it and find you love it! Think that cover is fabulous, btw...

    I have been finding so many books that I didn't know about. This one sounds really good. I can't wait to see what you think of it!

    I've been enjoying cozy mysteries more than usual lately, so I'll have to check this one out. I like colorful characters :)

    I really like the sound of this one and will have to look for it. Not that I need more books. LOL

    The cover didn't make me feel "read me", but I love the summary. 👍✨
