Can't Judge A Book By Its Murder
Main Street Book Club Mysteries book 1
by Amy Lillard
| -From Goodreads- Not every murder is by the book... As Sugar Springs gears up for its all-class high school reunion, Mississippi bookstore owner Arlo Stanley prepares to launch her largest event: a book-signing with the town's legendary alum and bestselling author, Wally Harrison. That's when Wally is discovered dead outside of Arlo's front door and her best friend is questioned for the crime. When the elderly ladies of Arlo's Friday Night Book Club start to investigate, Arlo has no choice but to follow behind to keep them out of trouble. Yet with Wally's reputation, the suspect list only grows longer—his betrayed wife, his disgruntled assistant, even the local man who holds a grudge from a long-ago accident. Between running interference with the book club and otherwise keeping it all together, Arlo anxiously works to get Chloe out of jail. And amidst it all, her one-time boyfriend-turned-private-eye returns to town, just another distraction while she digs to uncover the truth around Wally's death and just what Sugar Springs secret could have led to his murder.

I've read quite a few of author Amy Lillard's Amish romances as well as her Amish cozy mystery series, all of which I enjoyed, so when I discovered Can't Judge A Book By It's Murder both the author and that catchy title caught my eye.
Can't Judge A Book By It's Murder is everything a cozy mystery should be. And it has all of the required elements; a business owner who knows more about murder mysteries than policework, a loyal friend, law enforcement who would prefer to do their job without amateurs endangering themselves, a crazy pet, some quirky older ladies, some possible love interests, more suspects than you can shake a stick at, and, of course, a body.
Amy Lillard has a fun mystery story that could easily be a Hallmark movie. Trust me, I love those movies! It's a fairly light read and enjoyable. Perfect for a summer day at the beach or curling up under a fuzzy blanket in the winter. You'll like trying to sort through the suspects and guessing the killer's identity just as I did.
This book was what most would term a clean read but if you are super strict there are a few words and activities that may bother you a little.
If you are a cozy mystery fan or love southern fiction, check out Can't Judge A Book By Its Murder from Amy Lillard. It's the best of both genres...
