annarella 's review for:

Murder by the Book by Lauren Elliott
3.0

This book has potential and could be developed in a nice series.
Unfortunately this one was not my cup of tea: a lot of things seemed rushed or with wrong timing, too many characters and too many crimes in such a short time. It requires a higher level of suspension of belief than the usual cozy mystery.
The mystery was good, no plot hole. The heroine seemed a bit weird but I liked the idea of rare book expert.
I'm curious about the next book as I think all the issues can be solved with some more editing.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC
