Murder in the Book Lover's Loft
by Ellery Adams
Murder in the Book Lover’s Loft is another fabulous book by one of my favorites, Ellery Adams. I devoured this book in one day and loved every minute of it.
I love books that have a bookish theme and this one did not disappoint. I always feel like I can relate to Ellery’s characters. They are book lovers. They are problem solvers and investigators. They are all dealing with something in their lives - trauma, physical scars, chronic illness, mental health issues, etc. As an enneagram 5, introverted, autoimmune warrior bookworm, I feel seen.
The mystery in this book is intriguing and the pace of the investigation in the story flowed nicely. There are no slow periods that would cause the story to drag. There are tiny clues throughout to keep your interest and I was completely surprised by the ending.
I loved the seasonal progression of the story. As it went into Halloween/Fall, complete with a masquerade ball, I was there for it. Despite it being mid 90’s outside here in SC, I felt like I was transported to cooler weather surrounded by pumpkins, warm drinks and fall feasts. As it ended with Christmas (and snow!) I felt a smile appear on my face. As I prepare my kids for school in two weeks, I couldn’t have dreamed up a better book to close out my summer reading and prepare me for spooky season.
