Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Murder by the Book
Helen takes a job in a bookstore. Life seems to be settling into a routine. She has a cozy home, an interesting job, a boyfriend, and friends at her apartment complex.

That all changes when her apartment is swarmed by termites, her boss is murdered, her boyfriend turns into a jerk, and her good friend is arrested.

Helen and her landlady systematically investigate until they find the killer.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - No Option for LESS than one star
Poorly written, bad puns, irritating beyond belief. I am from St Louis and adored Elaine Viets columns in the St Louis Post Dispatch. She should stick to short columns because she most surely cannot write mystery novels.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A fast, funny read!
The Coronado Crew is back with another Page Turner (pun intended:) When a resident of the Coronado Tropic Apartments is arrested for the murder of a bottom feeding millionaire bookstore owner, it's up to this series' heroine, Helen, and her sassy, salty, and ever-so fascinating 80-something year-old landlady, Margery, to figure out who done it.

This is a laugh out loud funny novel that would make a perfect book to take on vacation or to make a daily passenger commute more enjoyable.

"Murder Between the Covers" is the second book in this series. The debut novel is "Shop till You Drop".





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Another great installment in this series....
Helen has been working at a bookstore, which introduces a colorful cast of characters. As usual, mayhem begins, and Helen must solve the mystery to keep a friend from being accused of murder. If you haven't read this series, you should. I look forward to getting to know the secondary characters more. There are several that could have a storyline written around them.

Highly recommended.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Bookstore mayhem and murder
Once again Helen is working a dead-end job that allows her to be paid in cash under the table. She is hiding out from the law and her ex-husband.

This time she's working at Page Turners Bookstore. With her love of books, she thought this would be the perfect job. Wrong. Not only is the caliber of customers low, but her boss, Page Turner III, is the pits. Plus the stores appear to be on a downward spiral.

Her apartment complex, The Coronado Tropic Apartments, become infested with termites. The residents are all forced to move out for the weekend while the complex is tented and bombed.

Her landlady treats Helen to an enjoyable weekend at the beach. Her new boyfriend, Dr. Rich, comes to spend it with her.

But, when they return to the Coronado, they find Page Turner III dead with a knife in his back, on a bed in one of the apartments. How could this happen? Did anyone at the Coronado even know him? Plus, the apartments had been locked down and tented.

Suspects are not is short supply. Helen's friend Peggy is arrested. Apparently she had been engaged to Page some time before and had threatened him. Helen investigates to help get Peggy released. She feels Peggy knows something but won't tell her. Could it have been his wife, one of the female authors he took advantage of, or one of Helen's co-workers?

I really enjoy this series. Helen is a lot of fun, and the characters she works and lives with always add to the story. Fort Lauderdale is a terrific setting, too. There are plenty of twists and turns before the killer is revealed so that it is not easy to figure out who the killer is.

This series is a great cozy series. I highly recommend it.
