A mystery set in and around a bookstore is intriguing, but when theres a whole town dedicated to a slew of bookstores, how can any true bibliophile pass that up? Where this story lacks in intensity and real mystery, it makes up for in the whimsy of the village of Stoneham. While reading, I found myself not really caring so much who the murderer was as much as I was intrigued by the town and the bookshops. I kept hoping that our heroine would frequent more of them in an attempt to give the reader a broader picture of what this booktown entailed.
The reader is given enough clues early on in the story to figure out the identity of the killer with minimal effort. In addition to the primary murder mystery, there are some additional storylines that I found to be interesting and will enjoy seeing how they play out further along in the series.
Though I enjoyed most of the characters, I did not care for Tricias sister, Angelica or the Sheriff. As we will be seeing more of these characters in future books, theres always a chance they will have some redeeming qualities and my opinion of them will change. One can only hope, right?
