Chapter and Curse by Elizabeth Penney

4.0

I love a good cozy mystery series so I'm really glad that I decided to finally try this new to me series and pick up this first book. From the beginning pages, I just knew that this was a series that I was going to enjoy. Who doesn't want to read about a woman moving to Cambridge with her mom to help run a family owned bookstore? I mean, that's a book lover's dream, is it not? The descriptions of Cambridge, the bookstore, just Molly's new life in general had me entranced. The mystery was really just a bonus if I'm being honest. I found myself swept away in this book even when I was able to figure out the whodunnit behind it all. It was just such a pleasant read - the perfect change of pace between some of the darker books I've read this year. I'm excited to continue on with this series and to work on catching up with it (it looks like book four releases later this year).

Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries or those who want to lose themselves in the pages of a book should give this series a try. I cannot wait to grab the second book and see what adventures/troubles Molly gets into next. Four stars and easily recommended!
