About me:

.. Welcome to the MySpace home of Lorna Barrett (nom de plume of author Lorraine Bartlett). I write cozy mysteries and my first in the Booktown mystery series is MURDER IS BINDING, which has beeen published by Berkley Prime Crime.

Who knew the world of used and rare books could be so dangerous? Certainly not Tricia Miles, owner of a mystery bookstore Haven’t Got A Clue, who is suspected of killing a fellow bookseller and stealing a valuable cookbook. To prove her innocence, Tricia must track down a murderer, risking everything she holds dear to do it.

MURDER IS BINDING also introduces Tricia's exasperating sister Angelica Preston (who just loves to cook) and Tricia's cat, Miss Marple.

"The mix of books, cooking and an engaging whodunit will leave cozy fans eager for the next installment."
--Publisher's Weekly

To celebrate her bookstore’s anniversary, Tricia Miles hosts a signing for bestselling author Zoë Carter. But the event takes a terrible turn when the author is found dead in the washroom. Soon, police and reporters are demanding the real story. Tricia will have to take matters into her own hands--and to solve this mystery.

BOOKPLATE SPECIAL, third in the Booktown Mystery series, will be available November 3, 2009.

Who I'd like to meet:

Readers of cozy mysteries and other Berkley Prime Crime authors!

And how about YOU!

    Just finished reading Murder is Binding and I have to say it is one of the best books I have read in a long time! Just started reading Bookmarked For Murder and I trust that it is just as good if not better than the first! Thought I would let you know that you have yet another fan out here!
