Lizzie Turner, a reading teacher, has returned to her hometown and with old friends has started a literacy group as well as a book group.
At the first group meeting they are interrupted by a stranger who later turns up dead. The police arrive and take it in their heads that one of the club members is the murderer so the club participants set out to solve the murder.
It was really fun to read this cozy especially since other real life cozies were quoted and talked about, even ones I've read.
