A Book Signing To Die For
by Judy Moore
A BOOK SIGNING TO DIE FOR by Judy Moore is a cozy murder mystery and the second book that I have read by this author. The earlier book was SOMEBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Both books are set in the same small Florida town of Manatee Beach. While they are not in the same series and have different main characters, there are some secondary characters who show up in both.
Beck O’Rourke co-owns Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop with her grandmother. They live in the apartment above their store with Beck’s younger sister, Lizzie. There is lots of excitement in the bookstore when a bestselling cozy mystery writer comes to their store for a book signing event. However, when someone dies after the event, Beck is determined to track down the culprit.
Beck was definitely someone you wanted to succeed. Her goals were clear and she showed appropriate emotions. The secondary characters were well developed as well-rounded and enhanced the story as well as providing some humor. The prose was compulsively readable, well-written, and engrossing. The plot was suspenseful, complex with plenty of suspects, and entertaining. The ending was a little unexpected with a nice twist.
Overall, this was an enjoyable, entertaining, suspenseful and fabulous read. Themes include murder, mugging, family dramas, secrets, poor treatment of those that are different from ourselves and much more. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author. If the above sounds like something you would enjoy, then I recommend that you check it out.
Thanks to the author for a complimentary copy of this novel and the opportunity to read and provide an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.
