I'm so happy to join Berkley in
celebrating the release of
WORD TO THE WISE
Book 10 in the Library Lover's Mysteries
by Jenn McKinlay
It's no-holds-barred murder, in the latest page-turning Library Lover's Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Hitting the Books.
Lindsey Norris is finally getting married to the man of her dreams—but it's not all roses for Briar Creek's beloved library director, as gardening enthusiast and town newcomer Aaron Grady gives the term “book lover” a whole new meaning. Inappropriate looks and unwelcome late-night visits to Lindsey's house have everyone from the crafternooners to Lindsey's fiancΓ©, Sully, on edge.
When Grady's dead body is found staged outside the library and all the clues point to Sully, Lindsey knows it's up to her to dig through the hidden chapters of Grady's previous life to find the real culprit and clear Sully's name. But becoming a thorn in the killer's side is not without its consequences, and the closer Lindsey gets to the truth, the more determined the murderer is to make her just a footnote.

MY REVIEW
The
Library Lover’s Mystery series is one of my all-time favorites. The first few
books in the series are among the first cozies I ever read, and Jenn McKinlay
was the very first cozy author I read.
I
was so excited to finally get my hands on, WORD TO THE WISE, and I wasted no
time opening it up and diving in. It was wonderful to be back in Briar Creek
and surrounded by characters I adore, and who feel like old friends.
With
the above being said, and stressing that WORD TO THE WISE is a well written
story, as have been all the author’s books to date, this wasn’t my favorite in
the series. I’m not exactly sure what it was. It was like something was
missing. Some component in the other installments that I just didn’t feel in
this one. There were times I laughed out loud, and times I teared up. Ms.
McKinlay always manages to get me emotionally invested. And there was a great bad
guy/gal (I’m not telling) that made me shiver. I just didn’t get the same . . .
something I normally feel with this
series.
WORD
TO THE WISE gets a solid four stars from me, but it is still a five star
series, from a five star author.
Available Now!
GOOD LUCK!
As always, please leave a comment and
Thanks, Lisa. Happy Thursday!
