Murder by the book / by Elliott, Lauren.;
Addie left some painful memories behind in the big city, including the unsolved murder of her fiancé and her father's fatal car accident. After an unexpected inheritance from a great aunt, she's moved to a small New England town founded by her ancestors back in colonial times--and living in spacious Greyborne Manor, on a hilltop overlooking the harbor. Best of all, her aunt also left her countless first editions and other treasures--providing an inventory to start her own store. But there's trouble from day one, and not just from the grumpy woman who runs the bakery next door. A car nearly runs Addie down. Someone steals a copy of Alice in Wonderland. Then, Addie's friend Serena, who owns a nearby tea shop, is arrested--for killing another local merchant. The police seem pretty sure they've got the story in hand, but Addie's not going to let them close the book on this case without a fight.

A murder between the pages / by Lillard, Amy.;
"The next in the Main Street Book Club mysteries! It was only a few months ago that the ladies of Arlo's Friday Night Book Club-Fern, Camille, and Helen-solved the murder of the renowned author, Wally Harrison. So when they select Wally's bestseller, Missing Girl, for their next discussion, Arlo is hopeful it will be the end of their mystery hunt. But the women are convinced Missing Girl was inspired by a 50-year-old cold case from their own Sugar Springs, Mississippi-the disappearance of Mary Kennedy-and Arlo can do little to stop the book club ladies from investigating. When a young girl is murdered in the exact place the women believe Mary went missing all those years ago, it becomes clear these two cases are connected. And with Arlo's help, they may just be able to crack the case"--
