This a good but really easy read I liked the plot and characters very much I will read more of the series soon. I really liked the characters especially Ellery he was such an interesting character someone who wanted a change of pace he instead found himself the main suspect in a murder with many not so great things happening to him. I also liked Carson he at first seemed like your gruff police officer type he became more than that he was a great love interest for Ellery although nothing has happened yet. I really liked the plot it started out with Ellery running the bookshop he inherited from his Great Aunt the one that was failing to him being suspected of a murder. I liked how the plot moved along with Ellery trying to figure out why someone would do this I liked what could be with Carson and there were so many interesting characters in this book. So overall I really liked this book will read more soon.
