Harvey is back - and she has a lot on her plate.
Running her bookstore, mending her broken heart, welcoming a famous author for a book signing, investigating the murder of one of the librarians.
Everyone is a suspect. Well, not everyone, but there are a few that are at the top of Harvey's list.
Can she effectively run her bookstore, move on from her broken engagement, run a heavily-attended book signing, and help save the day?
Well, it's Harvey, so...probably.
My favorite part of this entire book was the confrontation with the killer. My heart was pounding just waiting to see how that was going to play out.
While I enjoy this series, this one was a little harder to hold my attention. I was disappointed to see how fast it seemed Harvey "forgot" about Daniel. I could feel Daniel not being a part of Harvey's journey, and the casual mention of him was a let down for me, especially since Harvey has "adopted" his pup as her own. I just didn't feel closure with their characters' relationship in the previous book, not in the way I usually experience in a cozy mystery, so I was hoping it would happen in this one.
This gets 3.5 stars for me.
