Murder by the bookend  Cover Image Book Book

Murder by the bookend / Laura Gail Black.

Black, Laura Gail, (author.).

Summary:

When the local library's Director of Antique Books is found dead with his head bashed in by vintage glass bookends, antiquarian bookseller Jenna Quinn launches her own investigation before the culprit writes another killer ending.
The antiquarian bookstore, Twice Upon a Time, in Hokes Folly, NC, is throwing a bash for its grand reopening. Bookseller Jenna Quinn's peace of mind is shattered when the local library's Director of Antique Books turns up dead in the parking lot-- his head bashed in by a glittering pair of vintage glass bookends. The only witness is the victim's dog, who flees the scene leaving a trail of bloody footprints behind. The suspect list is voluminous: the late librarian had not-so-friendly run-ins with numerous guests. As suspicion centers on three unsavory individuals who left the party shortly before the victim did, will the bloodthirsty bookend-wielder becomes the author of Jenna's demise? -- adapted from jacket
