Under the Cover of Murder by Lauren Elliott

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Under the Cover of Murder” the 6th instalment in the Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery series by Lauren Elliott.



Bookshop owner and maid of honor Addie Greyborne vows to catch the killer who crashed her best friend's wedding...

It promises to be Greyborne Harbor's wedding of the year. The impending nuptials of Serena Chandler and Zach Ludlow will take place aboard his family's luxurious super-yacht, currently moored in the harbor and the talk of the town. But on the day of the wedding, a man's body washes up on the beach with no ID, only a torn page from a book in his pocket. As owner of Beyond the Page Books and Curios, bibliophile Addie is called in to identify the book, but she cannot.

The morning following the extravagant ceremony, a second body washes ashore and Addie has a sinking feeling that the two deaths are connected. While the guests are held on the yacht as the police investigate, at least Addie can peruse Zach's father's rare books library on board. A copy of Agatha Christie's first Hercule Poirot novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, provides a clue that the killer may still be on the ship—but narrowing down the suspects without becoming the next victim may prove a truly Herculean task...

I really enjoyed this latest instalment in the series!  I liked that we had two mysteries to solve, the murders and the forged books.  The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and I loved all the characters from the over the top Mother in-law to Catherine and Paige.

I kept second-guessing myself on whodunnit almost to the very end but I did suspect correctly just before it was revealed.  Plus I liked the surprise ending and I’m anxiously awaiting to find out what happens next! 

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I can’t wait to read "To the Tome of Murder” book 7 on October 26, 2021!


I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
