Books, beach roses... and bodies.Bookstore owner Max Sayers of Seaside Cottage Books is starting to settle into Snug Harbor, Maine when a local playboy plunges to his death… and Max’s best friend Denise is on the hotseat for murder. Denise is an obvious prime suspect—the dead man just nabbed the coffee house she’d been planning to buy for years right out from under her—and Max seems to be the only one in Snug Harbor who believes her friend isn’t Maine’s answer to Lizzie Borden.To top things off, business at Seaside Cottage Books is not exactly putting the store at the top of the Snug Harbor bestseller list. Add in a challenging ex-husband, a mother who’s fangirl crushing on her ex’s new girlfriend, and a daughter who’s boycotting the bookseller’s own budding romance, and Max finds herself wishing she were buried in a book instead of a real-life murder mystery. Then Max stumbles across a second body... and realizes if she doesn’t think fast, this new chapter of her life may come to a very sudden end.

The Lies that Bind by Karen MacInerney is the third book in The Snug Harbor Mysteries. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. Max Sayers owns Seaside Cottage Books in Snug Harbor, Maine. Max’s shop is a little off the beaten path and she wonders how she can attract tourists to her shop (a free cookie with purchase does not seem to be working). Max’s friend, Denise is upset because the owner of the local coffee shop reneged on her promise to sell her shop to her. A visiting millionaire and his son offered the owner significantly more than Denise. When Mr. Moneybags ends up dead, Denise is the prime suspect. Max knows her friend would not harm a fly and sets out to prove it. Max likes to bake, spend time with her dog, read (of course), spend time with Denise, and treasure hunt with her beau. Max is dealing with her daughter who is currently not attending college. She is staying at her grandmothers since Max has a small one-bedroom abode. Max is hoping her daughter will figure out what she wants to do (very, very soon). Max must also deal with her visiting ex-husband and his new girlfriend (who are also staying with Max’s mother—awkward). Max is surprised that locals believe that Denise committed murder (Denise does have a problem with her temper). Max asks questions and searches for clues. I wish the whodunit had been at the forefront of the story. I feel it took a backseat to everything else especially treasure hunting. The mystery was straightforward with an obvious solution. The reveal was entertaining. I was puzzled at Max’s reluctance to deal with her daughter. If you are paying the person to work, they should be working (not sleeping and eating all your food). Max is worried about the bookstore’s finances, but she spends little time there. She is paying two employees, has no website for the store, and no social media presence. I can see why her shop is struggling. I wonder if Max wrote up a business plan before opening the bookstore. The Lies that Bind is an upbeat cozy mystery with a scrummy cookies, a disturbing daughter, a quest for treasure, a distraught Denise, Cape Cod cocktails, and an adorable dog. The Lies that Bind: A Seaside Cottage Books Cozy Mystery (Snug Harbor Mysteries) Online PDF Kindle pdf This is the last book in a 3-book series. The stories themselves are fun small-town mysteries, where the local book-store owner seems to find dead bodies every week. My only complaint is that there are continuity errors between books and poor editing. Continuity errors include things like Book #1 talking about how the bookstore's Facebook page is attracting difficult feedback, and in Book #3 they don't have a Facebook page yet. The sentence "I'll untie the ropes," appears three times on the same page in Book #3. Editing errors, and these might just be in the kindle versions, are things like, "These are my friend, ..." "...before it got picked it up ..." "...and most of them had made them down to a plate," and other confusing word salads that never got cleaned up. Fun books for a vacation read, but some frustrations along the way if that stuff bothers you. PDF The Lies that Bind: A Seaside Cottage Books Cozy Mystery (Snug Harbor Mysteries) pdf epub It was nice to go back to Seaside Cottage Books and spend some time with Max Sayers. It was nice to spend time with some friends and family catching up. Unfortunately her friend Denise was having a tough time, her potential business was going to be sold out from under her and when the the businessman who was going to do that was found dead she becomes a murder suspect. It was an interesting mystery but I did think the wrap up was a little quick. Hope to find more answers in another book. ePUB The Lies that Bind: A Seaside Cottage Books Cozy Mystery (Snug Harbor Mysteries) epub online This is the third book in this series; I haven’t read the other books yet, but this stands alone well. I’m delighted to have discovered this new-to-me author and series and am eager to go back and read the first two books; I’ve already bought the first one! This small town in Maine is a great setting and I really like Max, the main character. Her boyfriend, Nicholas, seems quite the catch and it’s fun to have a middle-aged divorcee’ rediscovering herself. I can definitely recommend this book and will also be checking out this author’s other series, as she has several. PDF Download The Lies that Bind: A Seaside Cottage Books Cozy Mystery (Snug Harbor Mysteries) . . . be sure to stop at Seaside Cottage Books. Owner Maxine "Max" Sayers has a wide variety of books on hand for purchase and will, if needed, place the store in the capable hands of Bethany, who works part-time, while Max digs for clues and solves mysteries.Like author Karen MacInerney's Gray Whale Inn and Dewberry Farm series, the Snug Harbor Mysteries are a pleasant way to spend a couple hours with characters readers can't wait to spend time with again and again. This time Max has to help best friend Denise when it's rumored that Denise killed a man who was trying to end her dream of buying the Sea Beans Coffee Shop.My only complaint is that it will seem like far too long between books when readers get the chance to read the next book (and continue the overarching subplot of looking for the rumrunner's treasure). I can hardly wait!
