Small-town life in Hazel Rock becomes a Texas-size crime scene when murder takes a page from Charli Rae Warren's book club's latest mystery . . . Charli takes great pride in running one of the few independent, family-owned bookstores insmall-town Texas. She vets everything carefully, with an eye to the eclectic tastes of the locals. That includes the Book Barn's weekly book club selection. This time out it's a mystery whose characters bear a striking resemblance to local citizens, including Charli's friend Sugar . . . who's the prime suspect when her real-life nemesis is found dead in a hotel's water tank. With help from her pet armadillo Princess, Charli campaigns to clear Sugar's sweet name-literally-when the up-for-election mayor becomes a killer's next target. Murder and politics make scandalous bedfellows as Charli discovers that fiction may be fatal, but reality could be just as deadly . . . "A well written, fast-paced cozy mystery that has well developed and likable characters with good humor and a bit of romance." -Fresh Fiction on Perilous Poetry"An electrifying tale."-Fresh Fiction on A Reference to Murder

Charli Rae Warren doesn’t plan on striking it rich as the owner of an independent bookstore in Hazel Rock, Texas—especially one with a pink armadillo as its mascot. But when an ingenious advertising campaign puts her business on the map, it ropes in some deadly publicity . . .   Charli can’t believe writer Lucy Barton has agreed to promote her latest Midnight Poet Society novel at The Book Barn Princess—or that there’s only a week-and-a-half to prepare for the signing. It’s all because of The Book Seekers, a smartphone app created by her cousin Jamal exclusively for Charli’s bookstore, which sends fans on a virtual scavenger hunt around town for a chance to meet the bestselling author. But as soon as it goes live, people turn up dead . . .   Someone’s using The Book Seekers to track victims and copycat the fictional Midnight Poet Society homicides, and horrified locals suspect Jamal could be the mastermind behind the crimes. While Charli readies the Barn for a stampede of new customers, it’ll take true grit to shelve the culprit before her brainy cousin gets locked behind bars, Ms. Barton backs out of the visit, and she finds herself up a creek—with a serial killer holding the paddle!
