This book was provided to me via Kindle by Poisoned Pen Press and #NetGalley for my honest opinion.

A Murder Like No Author is the third in this cozy mystery series. Arlo and the Friday Night Book Club have a mystery on their hands ready to solve.

A Murder Like No Author is the third in the series. I really liked this book and plan on reading the first two. The story takes place in Sugar Springs, Mississippi. Arlo Stanley and Chloe Carter are partners in a book store called Books and More. The town is renovating the Coliseum Theater for the showing of Missing Girl by deceased book author, Wally Harrison. A man named Petro Chenko arrives in town stating that Wally's assistant Inna Kolisnychenko has written the book not Wally Harrison. Her aunt, Helen (Elly) Johnson calls and tells Arlo that Petro Chenko is dead.in the theatre. As Arlo is about to leave Fern Conley, one of the members of the Friday Night Book Club arrives. They both go to the theater to see Elly. Upon arriving at the theatre they see the crumbled body between the seats. Arlo calls the police chief, Mads about the dead body. This is where the story gets very interesting. The Friday Night Book Club consists of Ellie, Fern and Camille. They are all in their 80's and drive the police chief crazy with their sleuthing. Arlo has a hard time keeping them out of trouble. The other characters add to this story of murder, mishaps around the theatre and talk of ghosts and the Lady in Red. At the opening of the movie all mayhem breaks loose with a surprising ending.

Thank you NetGalley and Poison Pen Press for this ARC.

Sugar Springs is gearing up for the premier of a movie based on a book written by one of their own. It’s a big event in town and everyone is excited, then a stranger shows up and claims he has proof that the book the movie is based on was not written by Wally.

When the man making the claims is found dead, Arlo and the book club are on the case. They work to find the killer and try to prevent the premier from turning into a nightmare.

I enjoy Amy’s books. She had another series I truly enjoyed based in Amish country so I was thrilled to see her new series and this new addition to that series is just as awesome as her other works. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series.
