Trouble on the Books by Essie LangBook one in a new series.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars, it was just okay.
I really wanted to love this book. A bookstore, in a castle? Sounds perfect, right?
But I found myself losing interest in it, it was so slow. It starts off with a murder pretty much right away, so I thought it would be fast paced. It dragged. And I really had a hard time connecting with Shelby, though I don't know quite why. It's also pretty laughable that people in a small town would tell a newcomer like Shelby anything more than they would tell the actual people in charge of the investigation.
I'd be interested in giving book 2 a chance, but it certainly goes on my library list.
*I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book given to me by the publisher, via NetGalley.*
