No. Sorry. Just no. No sleuth, no matter how amateur, would remove a clue from a crime scene. Especially -spoiler alert- a clue as important as a diamond necklace. I made it through 211 pages but this is totally not believable.

A Murder Between the Pages is the second installment in the Main Street Book Club Mysteries series set in the small town of Sugar Springs, Mississippi and featuring bookstore owner Arlo Stanley and her business partner Chloe Carter. The three members of the Friday Night Book Club, Helen Johnson, Camille Kinny and Fern Conley are trying to solve another mystery - this time it's a 50 year old cold case, or is it?
When best selling author Wally Harrison was found murdered outside of the book store a few months ago the ladies had helped local police chief, Mads Keller identify his killer. Now the ladies are convinced that Wally's last novel, Missing Girl was written about a local piano teacher, Mary Kennedy who simply vanished one night after leaving the gates of the wealthy Whitney family compound, Lillyfield.
Despite Arlo's pleas for the elderly ladies to stay away from Lillyfield, the group descends upon the mansion and are witness to a real life murder of someone close to them. The ensuing investigation quickly reveals that maybe someone in the Whitney household had killed Mary Kennedy and now that person is trying to keep the truth from being discovered.
A fast paced plot filled with zany characters and a boisterous parrot named Faulkner. Arlo's relationship with ex-boyfriend Sam Tucker seems to be blossoming and fortunately the dreaded love triangle involving Mads seems to be taking a backseat. A delightful read that will have you chuckling from start to finish. I look forward to many more adventures in Sugar Springs.
