A Chapter on Murder by Sue Minix is a cozy, clever mystery that wraps murder, humor, and bookish charm into one delightful read. Set in the quaint town of Riddleton, it follows Jen, a crime novelist who suddenly finds herself living inside her own plot when a man is found dead right outside her bookstore—with her address in his pocket. What was meant to be a peaceful Christmas season quickly turns into a race against time to clear her name, solve the murder, and somehow finish her novel.
Jen is a wonderfully relatable protagonist—sharp, determined, and a little chaotic in the best way. Her chemistry with her best friend Brittany and her loyal dog Savannah adds warmth and levity to the mystery. The town itself feels alive with festive small-town charm, quirky residents, and just enough secrets to keep readers guessing. Each clue, red herring, and twist pulls you deeper into the story, making it impossible to stop turning pages.
Sue Minix strikes the perfect balance between cozy and suspenseful. A Chapter on Murder is a treat for fans of bookish mysteries, small-town settings, and strong female leads who solve crimes with heart and humor. It’s witty, warm, and wonderfully twisty—a perfect curl-up read for mystery lovers, especially during the holidays.
