"Wake up on a houseboat, moored in scenic Alexandria Bay, New York. Ride the gentle waves to work at quaint Bayside Books, where you spend your days supplying literature and conversation to the charming locals and seasonal tourists. Sounds pleasant, doesn't it? Except bookseller Shelby Cox has already sleuthed two murders from Bayside Books's home base on Blye Island, one of New York State's famed Thousand Islands. And this time, mayhem knocks right on Shelby's waterside door when she finds a body lodged between the side of her houseboat and the dock, his skull shattered. The victim is no local, but Shelby can't shake the feeling she's seen him before. Twice, in fact--that's how many times he's dropped into Bayside Books asking about an enigmatic woman who lived on Blye Island many years before. The last time? The day before he was found. But the poor man obviously was killed elsewhere, so who brought him down to the bay, and why? When the victim's daughter hits town demanding answers, Shelby takes the case, despite Police Chief Tekla Stone's usual reservations. But she uncovers more suspects than there are pages in War and Peace, and Shelby can expect no peace--except the peace of the grave--unless she can turn the page on this grisly mystery."--Provided by publisher.

A Deadly Chapter by Essie Lang is the 3rd novel in A Castle Bookshop Mystery series. You can read A Deadly Chapter on its own if you are new to the series. I thought A Deadly Chapter was easy to read with developed characters. I enjoy the description of the castle bookshop and of Alexandria Bay. I love Shelby�s houseboat (if I did not own so many books, I would love to live on one). Shelby is happy in Alexandria Bay with house home, job, Aunt Edie, and her boyfriend, Zack Griffin. The whodunit is mixed bag for me. The mystery was thought out with subtle clues and several suspects. The problem for me was that I could identify the guilty party at the beginning of the book. I wish the mystery had been more of a challenge to solve. Shelby was originally going to stay out of the case (you knew that would not last long), but unanswered questions bothered her. Then the victim�s daughter comes town needing answers. Shelby is soon knee deep in the case. She does not even let an injury slow her down. A Deadly Chapter is a busy book. Shelby�s boyfriend, Zack Griffin gets a promotion, and it will mean big changes for him. What does it mean for Shelby? Shelby�s mother disappeared from her life when she was a child and now she is back in town. Can Shelby handle seeing Merrily? Plus, Shelby is busy helping to organize a mystery event with the library. What does the future hold for Shelby? You will need to read A Deadly Chapter to find out. I would have liked more focus on the whodunit and less on Shelby�s personal life. A Deadly Chapter is a lively cozy mystery with a chummy cat, a perturbed police chief, a crafty killer, a disturbed daughter, and a busy bookstore.
