Booked to Die by John Dunning

3.0

I picked this book up a while back at a library sale. I had this on my list to check out of the library, as it is the first in a series of murder mysteries. Denver cop, Cliff Janeway, knows as much about books as he does about being a police officer. A case he is working on escalates and he ends up resigning his police job and opening a bookstore on Denver's Book Row. The story follows both his progression from one profession to another, as well as the murder mystery we are introduced to in the very beginning (as well as other murders along the way!) I must admit, I didn't figure all of this one out, so I enjoyed the twists and turns along the way. It took me a bit to "get into" this book and the characters, but I did end up enjoying it. I might look for more in this series in the future, although I'll use my local library and not purchase them from now on :)
