Entitled to Kill

Murder, family secrets, and a runaway tractor--just another day in St. Marin’s.

Bookshop owner Harvey Beckett never expected a mother-daughter outing to involve dodging a massive tractor--or discovering a dead body. But when the town’s most despised dairy farmer turns up murdered, Harvey and her parents find themselves tangled in an investigation that reveals a not-so-secret family scandal.

Harvey’s curiosity has a way of getting her into trouble, but this time, it might be her mother who pays the price. As the clues stack up, so does the danger, and before long, they’re both caught in a deadly game with a killer who has no intention of letting them walk away.

Can Harvey solve the case before she and her mother become the next victims? Or will this investigation put an end to her sleuthing days for good?

Entitled to Kill is the second book in The St. Marin’s Cozy Mystery series, a witty and charming mystery filled with quirky characters, small-town secrets, and page-turning intrigue.

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son and three rescue cats who are, of course, nocturnal.

Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants.

In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that ＂whiteness＂ is normal by making purposeful note of every character’s ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality.

Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
