Bookmarked for Murder

By V.M. Burns
Bookmarked for Murder by V.M. Burns digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Amateur sleuth Samantha Washington’s shopping trip to Chicago takes a deadly detour when a man is murdered on her bus . . .
 
After some post-Christmas retail therapy in the Windy City, mystery bookshop owner and historical whodunit novelist Sam Washington is returning home to North Harbor, Michigan, on a chartered bus. With Nana Jo and her gal pals Irma, Dorothy, and Ruby Mae from Shady Acres Retirement Village along for the ride, it's a lively trip. But one passenger is not so lively—a gentleman Irma befriended is found dead in his seat after an unscheduled stop. The ladies immediately shift gears to find out who punched his ticket, while Sam slips into the driver's seat to make sure Nana Jo and her crew steer clear of fatal conclusions . . .

“The way bodies were DROPPING in this one!!!! Frank my sweet baby in the end 🥰🥰🥰 Missed Dawson and the girls in this one but still enjoyed. Love my Seniors and Mysteries girls ;) I love V. M. Burns and have no critiques.”
“Growing up as a Michigan girl the book hits close to home. I love the descriptive detail the writer puts in the background of the store. You can never go wrong with a good murder mystery and throwing in a great mystery bookstore, historical references and well rounded witty characters and there isn’t anything no to love.”
