Death by the Book by Julianna Deering

"Death by the Book" by Julianna Deering is the continuing saga of wealthy and handsome Drew Farthering.  Another series of murders is happening in the small village of Farthering St. John, and "Detective" Drew is assisting local law enforcement in solving the mysterious hat-pin murders.

This book is light (for a murder mystery) and I enjoyed the small and subtle ways the author allowed Drew to share his Christian beliefs.  I also appreciated that I didn't guess who the murderer was until almost the end. 

This is a fabulous book for a sunny afternoon, sitting in the backyard, sipping a glass of iced tea.  I'm looking forward to Drew and Madeline's wedding, but am thinking if Farthering St. John has yet another string of murders, there might not be any residents left!  (Maybe there will be some sleuthing on the honeymoon???)
