Carrie and Charles Faraday are all smiles at a book party celebrating Carrie's long-awaited mystery-at least until Carrie witnesses a nasty quarrel between two of the guests. When one of the quarrelers turns up dead the next morning, and the party hostess becomes a suspect, Carrie and Charles feel a responsibility to find the real murderer.
They soon discover that the victim was a professor preparing a family history for a prominent - and wealthy - Tri-City family. This history could have a huge financial impact on the living descendants.
As Carrie-and any mystery writer knows-money is always a motive for murder. And as the Faradays follow the professor's line of research, they soon realize they could become the next victims on the murderer's list.
Take a Book for Murder, the fifth installment of the Faraday mystery series, has everything you've come to expect in a Millie Mack novel -- danger, suspense, and a satisfying plot full of unexpected twists.
