Talitha Robinson is well on her way to completing renovations for her new bookstore, Beach Bound Books and Beans, in Lantern Beach, North Carolina. But when she hosts a friendly meet-and-greet with bookstore owners from nearby islands, the progress she’s making comes to a deadly end.
Someone is backstabbed—literally—right under Tali’s nose. To make matters worse, Tali’s fingerprints are all over the murder weapon and a neighbor claims to have seen Tali commit the crime.
Mac MacArthur knows Tali isn’t the type to hurt anyone, but it doesn’t take a former police chief to figure out things don’t look good for her. The two work together to read between the lines and decipher the truth before Tali gets locked away for crimes she didn’t commit.
As more evidence stacks up, it becomes clear that someone wants to take Tali out of the story. For good.

MY THOUGHTS
Tali finds herself in the middle of another mystery when her houseguest is murdered. She's found in the middle of Tali's store with a knife in her back. With every piece of evidence pointing to her, Tali is the prime suspect. Tali didn't kill her, so what's going on? Is someone setting her up? And if so, why? With some help from Mac and Serena, Tali sets out to clear her name.
I was glued to the pages of this fast-paced mystery. It's a quick read that kept me guessing. I thought it wrapped up a little too quickly, but other than that, this was another fun mystery from Christy Barritt. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I'm loving these characters. Plus, I can never get enough Lantern Beach.
FOUR STARS
