WHEN THE VILLAGE OF FARTHERING ST. JOHN IS Stunned BY A SERIES OF MURDERS, DREW FARTHERING IS DRAWN again INTO THE SLEUTHING GAME.
Drew Farthering wanted nothing more than to end the summer of 1932 with the announcement of his engagement. Instead, he finds himself caught up in another mysterious case when the family solicitor is found murdered, an antique hatpin with a cryptic message, Advice to Jack, piercing his chest.
Evidence of secret meetings and a young girl’s tearful confession point to the victim’s double life, but what does the solicitor’s murder have to do with the murder of a physician on the local golf course? Nothing, it would seem–except for another puzzling note, affixed with a similar-looking bloodied hatpin.
Soon the police make an arrest in connection with the murders, but Drew isn’t at all certain they have the right suspect in custody. And why does his investigation seem to be drawing him closer and closer to home?

Summary
Book Title: Death by the Book
Book Author: Julianna Deering
What do you like about this book:
"Advice to Jack".
A rather cryptic note; embedded into the chest of a well respected solicitor, who was found murdered in his hotel room before he could keep an appointment with Drew Farthering about an adaptation to Drew's will. And thus begins a string of unsolved murders, seemingly unconnected except for the mysterious notes embedded into the heart of each victim with . . . . . beautiful antique hat pins?
Accepted into the inner circle of the local Chief Inspector's investigations, due to his superior sleuthing skills, English socialite Drew Farthering begins a chase that may tragically lead him a little too close to home. Without a doubt, Farthering Place is where Drew's heart lies, for the beautiful American woman whom Drew is fairly hopeful will one day become his wife, (unless her rather annoying aunt finds a way to whisk Madeline back to the States) remains in a cottage on the property.
Enjoy this delightful, but terribly intriguing murder mystery, with its series of twists and turns set amidst just enough sweet romantic banter to smooth over the rough edges of a serial killer who has managed to commit "death by the book".
