The Corpse at the End of the Chapter

When recently widowed Copper Penny decides to open a bookstore in her small town of Misty Valley, Oregon, she certainly does not expect that someone will be murdered in her store on its Grand Opening day. The elderly victim was not very well-liked, but who hated her enough to kill her?Before the investigation can even begin, another body appears, seemingly unrelated to the first death. But is there a connection? The third body throws everyone for a loop. The last murder in Misty Valley was fifty years ago. Now there are three, just days apart? Is there a serial killer loose in the tiny town? And how is this third murder connected to the other two? Or is it?The sheriff has never had to deal with murder before and is totally out of his element. It takes Copper herself and her friend Louise, daughter-in-law of the first victim, to figure out who killed these women and why.
