Buy the print version-reader leaves much to be desired
Revisado: 08-02-22
I love Kate Carlisle’s Bibliophile mysteries series so when her latest Brooklyn Wainwright mystery hit the shelves I couldn’t wait to pick up my copy. Normally I purchase print versions of this series because I want to add them to my home library but this time I purchased the audio version due to an upcoming car trip. What better way to spend 8 hours in a car than listening to Brooklyn and Derek’s zany adventures? Unfortunately, I had to stop listening after chapter 1. I could not listen to the reader’s fake British accent any longer. Not only was the accent painfully fake but she would often drop the accent mid-sentence. The reader was not believable with other male voices either. I found I was so distracted by the reader I could not focus on the story. I will buy the print version in the future. Lesson learned-always listen to the sample before purchasing a book regardless of how much you love the series.

Legendary stage and movie star Sir Nigel Bellingham arrives on Cape Cod to star in a stage production of The Hound of the Baskervilles put on by the West London Theater Festival. When Sir Nigel, some of the cast, and the director visit the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop at 222 Baker Street, Gemma Doyle realizes that Sir Nigel is not at all suited to the role. He's long past his prime and an old drunk to boot. The cast is not happy, but the show must go on. Before the play opens, Jayne's mother arranges a fundraising afternoon tea to be catered by Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room. The tea is a huge success, but, when it's time to leave, Sir Nigel has gone missing - only to be found at the bottom of the rocky cliff, dead. When the police focus their attention on Jayne's mother despite numerous other suspects, the game is once again afoot, and it's up to Gemma and Jayne to clear Jayne's mother's name.

Another enjoyable book in the Holmes Bookshop mystery series. Gemma, along with her “Irregulars”, are embroiled in another murder with Jane’s mother as a prime suspect. Secrets are exposed. Loyalties are tested. “Presume nothing”.

Sherlock Holmes inspired cozy mystery
Revisado: 10-28-19
Being a Sherlock Holmes and cozy mystery fan, I decided to give this series a try. The plot was interesting and made you think about “fairness” but the main character, Gemma Doyle, is just not likable. I understand the author’s attempt to give Gemma the same fabled powers of observation as Sherlock Holmes but her demeanor is off-putting and brusque. I did not find myself rooting for her to win. The other characters held my interest more than Gemma. I enjoyed the reader, Kelly Clare. Since the plot had a few fun twists and turns I might be willing to give the second book a chance.
