4.5
adventurous emotional hopeful lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

Murder in the Book Lover's Loft is the 9th book in the Book Retreat Series by Ellery Adams.
I love this series so much. First, Adams is great at crafting the mystery itself, but more than that, the book is about family and friends with a touch of romance too.
This case involves a mystery writer whose stories touch a bit too close to home for some of his fellow writers, so when there is a murder in the small town of Oyster Bay where our main characters, Jane and Edwin, are supposed to be enjoying a vacation away from the frequent murders at Storyton Hall, their home, they need to stay and help their friend, Olivia, figure out what is going on, especially since there is a connection to Storyton Hall that they all need to figure out.
The way the story ends makes me think this might be the last book in the series, but I certainly hope not!
4.5/5 stars
