Title: Murder on the Poet’s Walk
Series: Book Retreat Mysteries #8
Author: Ellery Adams
Genre: Mystery
Publication Date: September 27, 2022
Publisher: Kensington Books
Synopsis:
When corpses clutching poems begin turning up around Storyton Hall, resort manager Jane Steward is on the trail of someone exercising poetic license to kill . . .
As Jane eagerly anticipates the wedding of her best friend Eloise Alcott, Storyton Hall is overrun with poets in town to compete for a coveted greeting card contract. They’re everywhere, scrawling verses on cocktail napkins in the reading rooms or seeking inspiration strolling the Poet’s Walk, a series of trails named after famous authors. But the Tennyson Trail leads to a grim surprise: a woman’s corpse drifting in a rowboat on a lake, a crumpled copy of “The Lady of Shallot” in her lifeless fist.
When a second body is discovered, also holding a page from a poetry book, a recurring MO emerges. Fortunately, Jane is well versed in sleuthing and won’t rest until she gives the killer a taste of poetic justice . . .
My thoughts:
Y’all know how much I adore Ellery Adams’s Secret, Book, and Scone Society books: here and here. So I can’t wait to dive into her Book Retreat series with Murder on the Poet’s Walk! Books and bodies, you can’t go wrong with that.
