Welcome to Litsy!

Small-town life in Hazel Rock becomes a Texas-size crime scene when murder takes a page from Charli Rae Warren�s book club�s latest mystery . . . Charli takes great pride in running one of the few independent, family-owned bookstores in small-town Texas. She vets everything carefully, with an eye to the eclectic tastes of the locals. That includes the Book Barn�s weekly book club selection. This time out it�s a mystery whose characters bear a striking resemblance to local citizens, including Charli�s friend Sugar . . . who�s the prime suspect when her real-life nemesis is found dead in a hotel�s water tank. With help from her pet armadillo Princess, Charli campaigns to clear Sugar�s sweet name�literally�when the up-for-election mayor becomes a killer�s next target. Murder and politics make scandalous bedfellows as Charli discovers that fiction may be fatal, but reality could be just as deadly . . . �A well written, fast-paced cozy mystery that has well developed and likable characters with good humor and a bit of romance.� �Fresh Fiction on Perilous Poetry �An electrifying tale.��Fresh Fiction on A Reference to Murder
