Amy Lillard’s Main Street Book Club Mysteries is a three-book mystery series published between 2019 and 2021. It opens with Can’t Judge a Book By Its Murder, a title that plays on the old saying about judging books by their covers. The book-themed wordplay carries through the whole series, with A Murder Between the Pages following in 2020 and A Murder Like No Author closing things out in 2021.
Each title came out about a year apart, giving the series a consistent release schedule. The literary puns in the titles make it clear these mysteries are set in and around a book club, which gives the series its own identity within the mystery genre. Readers should start with Can’t Judge a Book By Its Murder to meet the characters before moving on to the later entries.
