Her English idyll ends when her mother, Hildy, shuffles off her mortal coil from an apparent heart attack. Returning to Brigidâs Island, North Carolina, for the funeral, Summer is impatient to settle the estate, sell Beach Readsâher momâs embarrassingly romance-themed bookstoreâand go home. As she drops by Beach Reads, Summer finds threatening notes addressed to Hildy: âSell the bookstore or die.â Clearly, something is rotten on Brigidâs Island. What method is behind the madness? Was Hildy murdered? The police insist thereâs not enough evidence to launch a murder investigation. Instead, Summer and her Aunt Agatha screw their courage to the sticking place and start sleuthing. There are more suspects on Brigidâs Island than are dreamt of in the Bardâs darkest philosophizing, and if Summer canât find the villain, the town will be littered with a Shakespearean tragedyâs worth of corpsesâincluding her own. 541 $d 20231128. 650 $a Women college teachers $v Fiction. 650 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Bookstores $x Fiction. 650 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Cozy mystery fiction. 830 2 $a A beach reads mystery ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240110010027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E619BD68AF8511EEB3273D3A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
