Murder at The Bookstore by Sue Minix
4.0
I gave Murder at the Bookstore by Sue Minix 3.75 stars.
Crime writer Jen returns to her small hometown with a bestselling book behind her and a bad case of writer’s block. Finding sanctuary in the local bookstore, with an endless supply of coffee, Jen waits impatiently for inspiration to strike.
But when the owner of the bookstore dies suddenly in mysterious circumstances, Jen has a real-life murder to solve.
The stakes are suddenly higher when evidence places Jen at the scene of the crime and the reading of the will names her as the new owner of the bookstore…
--------- REVIEW --------
This was a good start to a new series. The mystery was intriguing and there were some nail-biting moments that kept me on the edge of my seat. However, I did figure out whodunit early on, but I was still curious about the motive.
I liked that the author included snippets from the book Jen is writing. I hope we get to read more about her job in the upcoming books. That is something I really enjoy about cozy mysteries, the mundane life. I am also looking forward to seeing how Jen is dealing with becoming an owner of a bookstore.
This book comes out January 19.
