The Little Bookstore Murder Linda Clayton

A week on beautiful Hilton Head Island sounds wonderful to Julia Greene and her best friend, Olivia Duncan. They'll have to attend some seminars at the Let's Meet For Lunch Conference, but they're imagining warm sun, soft waves lapping on the shore and sand between their toes. And perhaps best of all, Julia is imagining magical evenings with Dirk Harrison, her significant other who has made a surprise visit from California. But an innocent trip to a bookstore changes all that. Instead of the warm beach days and romantic nights she imagined, Julia finds herself ensnared in an intricate web of death and deceit. A woman is found murdered, an extremely valuable book is missing, and Julia is accused of stealing it. Like it or not Julia has exactly one week to unravel the mystery and get herself out of trouble or possibly face going to jail. As she searches Hilton Head for clues, someone is relentlessly trying to stop her-by killing her if necessary. The answer is somewhere on that magical island. But will she find it in time?
