Hello my cozy friends,
Today I am reviewing Murder at the Bookstore by Sue Minix the 1st instalment in the "A Bookstore Mystery" series. What a great start to a new series, I enjoyed this book and look forward to book 2.
She can write the perfect murder mystery… But can she solve one in real life?
Meet Jen Dawson, mystery writer, coffee lover, and amateur detective?
Crime writer Jen returns to her small hometown with a bestselling book behind her and a bad case of writer’s block. Finding sanctuary in the local bookstore, with an endless supply of coffee, Jen waits impatiently for inspiration to strike.
But when the owner of the bookstore dies suddenly in mysterious circumstances, Jen has a real-life murder to solve.
The stakes are suddenly higher when evidence places Jen at the scene of the crime and the reading of the will names her as the new owner of the bookstore …
Can she crack the case and clear her name, before the killer strikes again?
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Lauren Elliott and Ellery Adams, this is an absolutely gripping new bookish cozy crime series that will have you hooked from the very first page.
I did struggle through the first 25% of the story but I am so glad I persevered as it definitely got better.
It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I did guess whodunnit but that did not distract from the story. I’m sure in the next 2 books character development and plot will improve and I won’t be able to guess.
I recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!
I requested and received an advanced readers copy from Harper Collins/Avon and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.
