Murder on the Page by Daryl Wood Gerber
3.0
This was a very good start to a series. There was a lot of exploration of the town and getting to know the community. Centered around a bookstore, there were many friendly faces and good friends. Allie also runs a bakery, and there was a lot of information on her routine and the goods she was baking or planned to bake. Great for keeping busy, and another way to be familiarized with locations and individuals. However, if you prefer to focus on the mystery alone, this might have been more distraction than you were wanting.
When the local bookshop owner is found dead, clutching a copy of Pride and Prejudice, Allie will do anything to solve the murder. Especially when the victim is a dear friend, and her best friend Tegan's aunt. The police are looking into everyone, and Tegan is one of their first suspects.
Despite a brewing romance between Allie and the local detective, Allie's insistence at questioning suspects and inserting herself in the investigation brings tension between the two. This might be over before it begins, but if that's the price for bringing a killer to justice, Allie will have to live with it.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the next one in the series! While this book itself felt like more of an introduction, I think the books to come will bring even more.
Thank you to the publisher through NetGalley for an ARC for this one. All opinions are my own.
