Murder on the Page by Daryl Wood Gerber
5.0

 Daryl Wood Gerber is one of my favorite authors, and I was happy learn that she's starting a brand new series with this book! This one features Allie, who runs a business tailoring parties to the client's favorite book. It's a new venture for Allie, and her first party is based on Pride and Prejudice. (Now, that's a party planner I'd hire in real life!)

The mystery was great, with plenty of suspects and red herrings for Allie to try to sort out. I enjoyed the way she investigated, talking to as many people as possible, and going to places related to the case to see what she could learn. When she finally figured it out (about the same time I did), all the clues made sense, and the culprit and motive were logical. As a bonus, neither of us solved the case until near the end of the book.

Allie is a great character with plenty of personality, and I enjoyed getting to know her. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in the next book, and to seeing what theme the next party will have!

Thank you to the author and the Cozy Mystery Review Crew on Facebook for providing me with a paper copy to read.
