Academic life at her Virginia university is a viper's pit, so Summer spends her summer in England, researching a scholarly paper that, with any luck, will finally get her published, impress the Dean, and save her job. But her English idyll ends when her mother, Hildy, shuffles off her mortal coil from an apparent heart attack. Returning to Brigid's Island, NC, for the funeral, Summer is impatient to settle the estate, sell her mom's embarrassingly romance-themed bookstore, Beach Reads, and go home. But as she drops by Beach Reads, Summer finds threatening notes addressed to Hildy: 'Sell the bookstore or die'. Clearly, something is rotten on Brigid's Island. What method is behind the madness? Was Hildy murdered? The police insist there's not enough evidence to launch a murder investigation. Instead, Summer and her Aunt Agatha screw their courage to the sticking place and start sleuthing, with the help of Hildy's beloved book club. But there are more suspects on Brigid's Island than are dreamt of in the Bard's darkest philosophizing. And if Summer can't find the villain, the town will be littered with a Shakespearean tragedy's worth of corpses--including her own."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z North Carolina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women college teachers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bookstores $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Threats $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $z North Carolina $v Fiction. 651 0 $a North Carolina $v Fiction. 830 0 $a Beach Reads mystery ; $v 1. 941 $a 16 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626010839.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035449.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010333.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20230712120734.0 $m AF BLA #1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062344.0 952 $l TVPD862 $d 20220308142404.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210305010624.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20201231010407.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201217010320.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20201205010841.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20201202013214.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201006011938.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201002012207.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20201002011045.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20201002010458.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200924010652.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E703BD6FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
