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! This week is the first mystery in a cozy series I know nothing about - A Killer Read by Erika Chase.
Blurb: For the first meeting of the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straws Society, six friends gather in Molly Mathews's old Southern mansion-including Lizzie Turner, a reading specialist with a penchant for mysteries. But the mystery book club meeting becomes the scene of an actual murder when a stranger is shot--and nobody knows who the victim is, or how Molly's antique gun came to be used as the murder weapon.
Then Lizzie begins finding mysterious manuscript chapters in her mailbox. As she and the book club members try to read between the lines, Molly surfaces as the next name on the killer's list...
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: A mystery book club that takes place in an old mansion and a mysterious manuscript make this one sound too good to keep putting off. And now I want cheese straws.
Ooo a book club and murder! This does sound good.
