Mystery bookstore owner Tricia Miles begins her seventh adventure with a contentious chamber of commerce meeting. Her sister, Angelica, owner of a cookbook shop and café, is determined to unseat the president but has to run against Stan, another contender, who wants to slash costs. Tricia finds Stan dead in the hotel bathroom during a break in the meeting, stabbed with a hotel worker’s fancy letter opener. Tricia and Angelica ask questions while campaigning for Angelica and learn several secrets about fellow business owners. Stan’s estranged son, Will Berry, comes to town after inheriting his father’s business and seems attracted to Tricia, but she already has her romantic hands full with her ex-husband and newly ex-boyfriend, who seem to be trying to get her back. Veteran genre author Barrett delivers another appealing mix of mystery and small-town affairs starring a small yet energetic cast of characters.

It is November and merchants in Stoneham, New Hampshire have their hands filled with getting ready for not only Black Friday but the election of the President of the Chamber of commerce. Tricia Miles is also busy getting ready for her friend Ginny's wedding and reluctantly gets pulled into her sister. Angelica's plan to run for president. The residents of Stoneham are not thrilled with Tricia's penchant for solving mysteries so are understandably upset when Tricia comes across the body of Stan Berry, another candidate for President. Tricia agrees to help Angelica solve the murder, but she doesn't realize how much this will hurt her relationship with several people in Stoneham.
"Not the Killing Type" is the well done seventh book in Lorna Barrett's Booktown cozy mystery series. Tricia and Angelica have continued to grow on me as characters and with this book in particular I empathized with Tricia. She is a character female readers especially can understand -at a crossroads in her life regarding her on/off again relationship with Stoneham Police Chief Grant Baker as well as her relationship with her ex-husband Christopher, and worried that her life might be a bit boring. She is also struggling with her relationship with some people in Stoneham who are beginning to think she is a jinx because she keeps finding dead bodies (props to Barrett from making that a part of the plot). Ultimately, Tricia is a very believable somewhat flawed character. I'm glad to see Angelica growing a bit in the series - she once seemed selfish to me but there are some well-done scenes with her and Tricia in this book. Pixie Hoe is another character who is growing on me and she injects some much needed humor into this book.
