Killer Words, by V.M. Burns

Killer Words (Mystery Bookshop, #7)

Killer Words by V.M. Burns 

My rating: 3 of 5 stars, I really liked most of it.

Book 7 in the series.

This book made me want to go back and read all of the previous books in the series. I binge read them all, before I went back and restarted this one. It could be a stand alone, but for me, I just needed to read about what came before.

I love the family/found family parts of this series, the characters are mostly fun and likeable. Nana Jo and her group of friends never fails to make me laugh. The main storyline moves pretty quickly and the wrap up was satisfying.

The one big thing that I don't particularly enjoy about this series is the "story within the story." I get that Sam is an author as well as a book store owner (though how she has time to run a business, write books, and solve murders, I do not know!) but I admit that I skimmed through the parts of Sam's writing. It just annoyed me more than moved the main plot forward.

All in all, I enjoyed the series and hope there are many more.

*I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book provided by the publisher, via NetGalley.*
