review 1: These books are just okay. The writing sometimes gives us conflicting ideas that don't seem to make sense. Also, the main character, Tricia, seems to be losing her way more and more. Characters that used to be endearing are now becoming fodder for Tricia's constant complaining. No one can live up to Tricia's impossible standards. Only Tricia is perfect. How long before she turns on poor Mr. Everett? Why has she become more and more unhappy in each book? It's getting hard to like her.I've figured for a while that Nigela Ricita has something to do with Angelica, since it's an anagram containing both "Angelica" and "Tricia". Angelica appears to be Antonio's stepmother, from one of her four marriages presumably. Angelica has really grown and become a nicer, more caring pe... morerson in the books. Let's hope Tricia's character can turn around from the direction she's being taken, too.
review 2: New York Times bestselling author Lorna Barrett is back in town—Booktown, that is—with another page-turning mystery. This time bookstore owner Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, put their own problems on the shelf to catch a killer who turns a bookcase into a murder weapon… Cranky Chamber of Commerce receptionist Betsy Dittmeyer is done reading people the riot act. After she’s crushed by a fallen bookcase, the next item to be read is her last will and testament—which is packed with surprises. It soon comes to light that Betsy was hiding volumes of dark secrets behind that perpetual frown of hers—and one of them just might have been a motive for murder.While Tricia tries to help Angelica—the newly elected Chamber of Commerce president and Betsy’s boss—solve the mystery, she discovers a hidden chapter in her own family history that rocks her to her very core. And with her ex-husband and the chief of police vying for her affections, it’s doubly hard to focus on who might have buried Betsy in a tomb of tomes.But as Tricia and Angelica try to read between the lines, they need to watch their step…and make sure the killer doesn’t catch them between the stacks.The murderer is Jerry, Betsy's husband, who also turns out to be her 1/2 brother.Tricia store is burned down. Tricia is through with the policeman and her ex-husband.LIBRARY BOOK less
