Title: excellent, especially as the name of a bookstore. Setting: love the SC barrier islands and an all-mystery bookstore? terrific! Characters: appealing in the cozy way. BUT is this a mystery or a romance? Well, cross-genre is fine. Or is this the author's entry in a contest to see how many classic mystery author and titles (both book and film)one can refer to in one volume? A true mystery scholar might enjoy this book, but there was too much name-dropping for this casual fan. Review by Anne. (Fiction) 08/24/09
