Booked for Murder by P.J. Nelson

4.0

I'm a sucker for a good cozy mystery, and this Southern cozy mystery was the perfect companion for a cold winter night, complete with a glass of wine and a comfy blanket. Madeline Brimley inherits her Aunt Rose's bookstore in the quirky town of Enigma, Georgia, where she spent many a childhood vacation. She's all set to start anew, but things quickly take a turn for the weird. The locals are less than welcoming, and someone's clearly got it in for her - I mean, who needs a warm welcome when you can have a burning gazebo, threatening phone calls, and a bookstore fire? And then, because things weren't exciting enough, a murder happens. But Madeline's no quitter, and she's determined to get to the bottom of things. As she digs deeper, she discovers that her aunt was sitting on some pretty big secreta that can affect whole town. Can Madeline figure out whodunit, or will she be the next victim? The supporting cast, including Reverend Gloria, Philomena, and David the handyman, add some much-needed humor and intrigue to the story. All in all, this was a fantastic start to a new cozy mystery series, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment.
