About this listen
A murder in her quaint British bookshop drops American Gothic novelist Penelope Parish into her deadliest caper yet.
Penelope Parish is ready to close the book on her amateur sleuthing-from now on, The Open Book's writer-in-residence will be sticking to villains of the fictional variety while she puts the final touches on her new novel. But when an author is murdered inside the bookshop, all of Upper Chumley-on-Stoke goes on high alert.
Now it's up to Pen and the quirky citizens of Chumley to stop a killer and protect the charming British town she's begun to call home.

Penelope Parish has hit a streak of bad luck, including a severe case of writer's block that is threatening her sophomore book. Hoping a writer in residence position at The Open Book bookstore in Upper Chumley-on-Stoke, England, will shake the cobwebs loose, Pen, as she's affectionately known, packs her typewriter and heads across the pond. Unfortunately, life in Chumley is far from quiet, and when the chairwoman of the local Worthington Fest is found dead, fingers are pointed at Charlotte Davenport, an American romance novelist and the future duchess of Worthington.

Cops drink coffee. They don't belong in Ellen Rosings's Victorian tearoom. But when her opening day thank-you tea ends in the murder of the president of the Santa Fe Preservation Trust, the police invade her haven. Enter Detective Tony Aragon: attractive and unsympathetic, with a chip on his shoulder that goes beyond the murder investigation, and Ellen's delicate bone china cup is full. Is the murderer one of her honored guests, or the ghost rumored to haunt the building? Will Ellen solve the mystery, or will the Wisteria Tearoom's premiere turn out to be its - and Ellen's - finale?

Truly Enjoyable Read
Pen and the gang are back, and murder has invaded their world once again. This time, the victim collapsed at her own book signing. Add to that Pen's sister's employment woes and possible upset in Pen's love life, and Pen has a full plate. I do enjoy these characters and their interactions, such an American/British mix, not too overstated but never boring. There are an awful lot of secrets in the small town, and the posh girls' school is fraught with them. I always finish these books with a little sadness, knowing I must now wait for the next.
