This story takes place just before the events in the Victoria Square Mystery (#7) A Murderous Misconception but may be read as a stand-alone introduction to the series.
The immensely popular Booktown Mystery series is what put Lorraine BartlettтАЩs pen name Lorna Barrett on the New York Times Bestseller list, but itтАЩs her talent -- whether writing as Lorna, L.L. Bartlett, or Lorraine BartlettтАФthat keeps her in her readerтАЩs hearts hearts. This multi-published, Agatha-nominated author pens the exciting Jeff Resnick Mysteries as well as the acclaimed Victoria Square and Lotus Bay Mystery series, and the Tales of Telenia adventure-fantasy saga, and has many short stories and novellas to her name(s).
