As an expert bookbinder, Brooklyn Wainwright lives to
restore books to their former glory and prestige, which is
exactly what she plans on doing with an incredible copy of
the Kama Sutra her best friend Robin Tully brought her back
from India. And if she can pick up a few pointers from the
book to spice up her love life with her hunky security
expert boyfriend, Derek Stone, she'll take that as a bonus.
Before Brooklyn can even lay a finger on the book though,
Robin shows up at her apartment, covered in blood. Robin's
apartment was thoroughly ransacked and the incredible guy
she recently met was murdered right next to Robin while she
slept. With no idea how any of it happened, Robin turns to
Brooklyn for help.
Having to put the Kama Sutra to the back burner, Brooklyn
dives head first into the mystery surrounding Robin with
help from Derek. When Brooklyn's apartment is searched and a
mysterious bleeding Russian shows up, things become even
more intriguing. Soon it becomes apparent Robin has found
herself in the middle of an international conspiracy. With
the body count rising, Brooklyn has bigger problems than
restoring the Kama Sutra. Now it's up to Brooklyn and Derek
to figure out the mystery behind everything that's going on,
before one of them becomes the next victim.
I only began reading cozy's last year and Kate Carlisle's
Bibliophile mysteries was one of the series that got me
hopelessly addicted to the genre. There isn't a single thing
about this series that I don't love. From the characters to
the unique plot lines, I can't get enough of these books.
MURDER UNDER COVER is the fourth book in this wonderful
series and I couldn't devour it fast enough. The mish-mash
of eccentric characters, from Brooklyn's hippie commune
parents to Derek's secret spy past and Gabriel's mysterious
origins, will have you feeling like you're visiting with
your own friends and family. They will keep you hooked and
craving more. As someone who loves books, learning about
book binding is just the cherry on top of this perfect
sundae. I hope this series has a very long run because I
haven't nearly started getting enough of it!
When she receives an exquisite copy of the Kama Sutra from her best friend, Robin, to appraise and restore, Brooklyn Wainwright anticipates both recreating a beautiful book and spicing up her love life. But then Robin's apartment is ransacked, and the great guy she recently met is murdered in her bed. Now Robin is the #1 suspect. Obviously, exploring the Kama Sutra's bliss will have to wait until after Brooklyn finds the killer...
