Today's book was Laura Alden's Foul Play at the PTA. Beth Kennedy has a lot on her plate- owner of a bookshop, single mother of two and secretary of the PTA. Things get even more hectic for her when she discovers Sam Helmstetter, a man who doesn't seem to have an enemy in the world, strangled in his car after a PTA meeting. Beth finds herself involved in the investigation when her new employee, who has already been falsely accused of one crime, is being falsely accused of this one as well.
Beth Kennedy knows she needs to solve this crime to clear Yvonne's name and save her bookstore from the protesters who are putting it in jeopardy.
I loved the rapport between Beth and her best friend Marina, who helps her with the investigation when she is not busy misquoting Shakespeare or breaking out a Southern accent. I also love that this story is set right before Thanksgiving. I am a sucker for mysteries set during the holidays, especially when it is August in Georgia and I find myself longing for snow. The ending was filled with both excitement and a reminder of what family really meant.
