Description
"The Christie sisters and their bookshop cat, Agatha, flirt with cold-hearted crime when bookish matchmaking turns into a date with death. Sisters Ellie and Meg Christie share a love of books, reading, and their new roles as co-caretakers of the Book Chalet, their family's historic bookshop tucked midway up a scenic Colorado mountain. But romance? That's another story. Ellie and Meg joke they're in sisterly competition for worst relationships. So, when their cousin signs them up for her newest business endeavor, matchmaking based on bookish tastes, the sisters approach their blind double dates with foot-dragging dread. While Ellie's date meets her low expectations, Meg's match, a book-loving romantic straight out of classic literature, charms her over a lovely dinner. The next morning, Meg is giddy with anticipation of a second date-until she's stood up without a word. She fumes that she should have known better. However, her date had a good reason for ghosting her. He's dead. Murdered, the police later confirm. As the last known person to see the victim alive, Meg becomes a prime suspect in his death. She grimly quips that at least her dating record can't get any worse. But it does. A thorn from Meg's romantic past returns to little Last Word, espousingmotives too sweet to believe. To sleuth out the truth, the sisters must sift through secrets deeper than the February snowfall. Clues accumulate, but so do suspects, crimes, and betrayals. Ellie and Meg can't afford to leave any page unturned. Romance maynot be their forte, but hearts and lives are on the line, and the Christies know how to solve a mystery-especially when murder is involved"--,Provided by publisher.
