This is the 15th book in the series and while I did enjoy this book the motive behind the killing was a bit outlandish in many ways. I also found the behaviors of Angelica and her son to be very immature and shallow but they are feasible responses to family disagreements when emotions flare. If the intention was to annoy the reader then the role was well done in this case. I suspect this series may be finding itself coming to a natural end soon as there are not many more regulars or suitors left between victims and criminals.
A Deadly Deletion by Lorna BarrettMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A well-constructed mystery that has many recurring characters. There are several suspects in multiple crimes affecting Tricia Miles and her family. The characters and their relationships are a central part of the story dynamics. Be aware you don’t want to read this book if you have not read the previous books in the series as there are spoilers in the story. I look forward to seeing how Booktown continues to progress hopefully not quite as far-fetched in motive as this one
