Thrilled to bring tourists to Sugar Springs, the town comes together to host the late author's event. But when a stranger arrives, boasting he has definitive proof that Wally didn't write Missing Girl...well, drama leaps from the page into real life. Mishaps start taking place around the theater—and then the stranger is discovered dead in his hotel room right before his press conference.
Can Arlo and her Friday night book club to sleuth out the killer and solve the mystery before the town's Hollywood dreams go up in smoke?[summary via Amazon]
Oh how I missed the Main Street Book Club mysteries!!! A Murder Like No Author is the third book in the series and it seems like forever since I visited Sugar Springs. This time bookstore owner, Arlo Stanley, is getting ready for the film premiere of local author, Wally Harrison. However, things don't go smoothly when a dead body turns up at the theatre . To make matters worse, her "book club" members are determined to stick their nose into the investigation.
Oh poor Arlo! As usual her book club, making up her guardian Helen, and friends, Fern and Camille, is causing strive and police chief, Mads, looks to Arlo to reign them in. However, reigning in the girls is easier said then done, and that is when the hilarity [and a great story] starts to take place!!
I really enjoyed the murder mystery. With Wally Harrison being a previous victim [refer to the first book] and someone accusing Wally of stealing the book, Missing Girl, there is quite a tangled web to untangle, and I had a lot of fun doing it. The mystery is excellent and will keep even the most seasoned reader guessing right until the end.
I've come to expect a great story with this series, and A Murder Like No Author doesn't disappoint. If you are looking for a fabulous book-within-book series, I recommend picking up the Main Street Book Club Mysteries. The antics of the book club coupled with the murder mystery is the perfect way to spend a Summer afternoon!
