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
