I’ve had some great response to last week’s “Adopt a Cat Month” blog post. Check it out, if just to see all of the cute cat pictures!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
This week I read A Just Clause by Lorna Barrett, book #11 in the Booktown Mysteries series. I have read one or two in this series before, so it was familiar to me, but there is enough background included in the book to understand what is going on even if you haven’t read anything else in the series.
Fun characters, and quaint small town, and of course stumbling over bodies. And I quite enjoyed the unexpected events of the last chapter or two. I won’t spoil it for you, but it was nice!

Lorna Barrett, A Just Clause
Just when things are getting back to normal in Booktown, Tricia and Angelica have their lives turned upside down by a shocking visitor from their past in this latest entry in Lorna Barrett’s New York Times bestselling series.
Tricia Miles, mystery bookstore owner and amateur sleuth, is in for a surprise when her ne’er-do-well father, John, comes to town—and promptly becomes a prime suspect in the murder of a woman with her own scandalous past. Even Tricia’s faith in the old man is shaken when the Stoneham police break the news that her father is a known con man who has done jail time.
But what about bestselling thriller author Steven Richardson? Is it a coincidence that he arrived for a book signing just before the crime or that the victim was found with a signed copy of his latest bestseller?
From merlot to murder, Tricia is determined to clear the family name before another body shows up and ruins Stoneham’s first—and highly anticipated—wine and jazz festival.
