Murder at the bookstore is the first book of the bookstore mystery series. It follows Jen as she just published her first novel and it was an instant succes. Jen was a writing block when her fruend is murdered. Jen solves the murder and recovers her writing block. 

This was the perfect book for getting me out of my reading slumb. It’s the perfect autumn read aswell. I didn’t really connect with any character and the author missed a great upperunity to play around with grief, the main character almost seems like she doesn’t even care that her friend has been murdered. She makes stupid choices while she doesn’t have to. I did enjoy it and that’s why I’ll give it 3 stars. If you liked a good girls guide to murder, you’ll like this book aswell.
