Descripción: When real life starts mimicking the plot of one of the romance books that line the shelves in her bookstore, it's up to Lizzie Hale to catch the killer, in this riveting new Love is Murder mystery.Lizzie Hale thought mail-order brides existed only between the pages of the historical romances she stocks in her bookstore, Love Under the Covers. But when not one, but two local men introduce her to their respective new wives, she's forced to reevaluate that notion.Lizzie is surprised when Al Little, the owner of the local hardware store, asks Lizzie and her aunt Charmaine to help Svetlana, his new bride straight from Russia, to settle into Tinker's Creek, but they agree.Everything is going swimmingly—until a wrench gets thrown into their plans when Svetlana is found drowned in the creek.With Al's suspicious best friend—who has his own mysterious mail-order bride—and the secretive matchmaker who put them together, Lizzie's got more suspects than she knows what to do with. But she'll have to nail down who the killer is fast, before someone else winds up dead.ReviewPraise for Murder of a Mail-Order Bride"Plenty of suspects and a slow-burn romance make for an entertaining cozy."—Kirkus Reviews"Murder of a Mail-Order Bride was another winner...offers another twist on familiar cozy mystery set ups.
