This novella, Body in the Books is by Heather Huffman. It's a wonderful new series set in St. Augustine, FL. Nora Jones has inherited her estranged uncle, Walter's estate but there are plenty of unanswered questions that came with this gift. As the story progresses Nora's group of friends become more and more like family and you cannot help but enjoy their relationships. I thoroughly enjoy the story of Pru and her disorder which causes her to be affected by sound in an extraordinary way. The mystery in the book was intriguing and extremely well written I enjoyed finding out what happened to Walter. I look forward to reading the next book and seeing how the story evolves.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
great new series set in a bookstore with several mysteries embedded in this cozy. Nora has to try to figure out why her Uncle whom she didn't know left her his bookstore and charming bungalow. as she learns more she creates a new family of charming friends. her most unique is her employee Pru who has a unique condition that makes her sensitive to sound. Nora comes to learn some of Uncle Walter's secrets but most of all to discover what a wonderful kind man he was.
