Booked for Murder
P.J. Nelson
BOOK REVIEW: P.J. Nelson’s Booked for Murder, is an easy-to-love set up of an inherited bookstore in a small town and a complicated mystery that rolls out underneath it. When Madeline, a failing actress, is forced to return to her hometown, she arrives to a gazebo on fire, and it’s clear we are in for an intriguing mystery—complete with a cat!
The cast of characters adds for a multi-layered mystery and when the first on-page murder happens, our connection to the character makes it an even more important murder to solve. There are some slower bits and The Old Juniper Bookstore while certainly centric to Madeline’s inheritance, is not really the main event of the story. Definitely gave some cozy vibes, page turning suspense, and an attractive set-up for a potential romance for the continuing series.
Thanks to @NetGalley and @StMartinsPress @MinotaurBooks for an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
