I went into this audiobook thinking "it's a Jenn McKinlay book, it's going to be good" and it was! It was so much better than I thought it would be though. Lindsey attends a conference where freaking Brooklyn Wainwright is the speaker! Yeah! The one from the Kate Carliesle books. Lindsey finds a rare book during the conference and later finds herself involved in another murder investigation that involves the rare book. The book is absolutely phenomenal and is so cozy and good. I loved that we got a cameo from Brooklyn, that was so much fun. I really liked the way the investigation went and the choices that Lindsey makes, I wish I could describe it but I don't want to spoil it but the end is so good! I did figure out a little bit more of the plot than I wish I had but that's okay, it was still really great. I also want to give a special shoutout to the narrator, Allison Ryan, she did a great job as always. Allison always makes the listening experience so joyful. Overall great read, highly recommend!
