A Deadly Competition. Wines, Spines, & Crimes Book Club Cozy Mysteries, #5

Harper was a librarian, not a beauty pageant judge. Yet she found herself in the middle of a contest-and another murder. The book club ladies had swindled Harper into being a judge for a pageant-and right into the middle of another murder. When she joins the panel of judges for the Miss Marilee Island contest, she finds herself in the middle of an all-out war between three major contestants. When one of them ends up dead, it's up to Harper and the book club gals to solve the murder.
With the recent murder of a beauty pageant queen so similar to something that happened in the past, Harper has to dig into that, avoid backstabbing contestants, and deal with her semi-romantic encounters with the handsome Viking detective. And when the killer targets Harper, things go from bad to worse. Now she has to solve the murder, figure out how she feels about the detective, and try to stay out of the murderer's reach-all while judging a beauty contest.
It's all hands on deck to solve the murder and keep Harper alive long enough to sort out her love life. Will Harper and the book club ladies be able to figure out who the backstabbing killer is, or will the killer get to Harper first? A Deadly Competition is the fifth story in the Wines, Spines, and Crimes Book Club Cozy Mystery series.
