Murder On Good Friday

Murder on Good Friday (2001) by Sara Conway (Cumberland House), ISBN: 9781581821888 — Condition: Good — Ex-Library copy, Hardback with plastic protective sleeve — as sold by Crappy Old Books

What could possibly make Good Friday worse than it already was for one unfortunate victim? Sara Conway has the answer in Murder on Good Friday, a 2001 Cumberland House mystery that blends small-town intrigue, holiday solemnity, and good old-fashioned crime solving. Perfect for fans of the cozy-but-not-too-cozy murder mystery, Conway dishes up suspects, secrets, and suspense in just the right proportions—like a church potluck gone very wrong.

This particular copy comes with a bit of extra backstory: it’s an ex-library hardback, complete with the battle-tested plastic protective sleeve that librarians everywhere swear by. What does that mean for you? It means the dust jacket is practically indestructible, the binding is sturdy enough to survive a hundred checkouts, and the book itself carries the faint aura of hushed whispers, stern “shhh”s, and possibly overdue-fine guilt. In other words, it’s not just a mystery novel—it’s a mystery novel with experience.

Condition is officially marked as Good. Translation: the pages are intact, the text is crisp, and while you might encounter a faint stamp, barcode, or ghostly Dewey Decimal residue, these only add to its charm. Think of them as marginalia left by the library gods, subtle reminders of all the hands it’s passed through on its way to you.

And of course, it’s brought to you by Crappy Old Books—the bookshop that embraces quirks, imperfections, and protective plastic sleeves with equal enthusiasm. Because let’s face it: a mystery novel feels more authentic when it’s already worn a disguise.

So if you’re in the mood for a murder timed with liturgical precision, wrapped in a bulletproof (well, coffee-proof) library jacket, and delivered with a wink, Murder on Good Friday is ready for its next reader.
