PERILOUS POETRY
Kym Roberts

Reviewed by Patti Loveday

Mystery Cozy

PERILOUS POETRY is the third book in the Book Barn Mystery series. I feel that there is a lot going on in this book but it still held my attention to the end. There is a lot of suspense, mystery, twists, and turns throughout this novel. I was really surprised at the identity of the killer and was really second guessing myself the whole time I was reading. The ending is well planned out and makes for the overall story. The characters are well developed and have interesting backstories that help to mesh with the plot line and overall story. There are a few secondary characters that make an appearance in this story just like the other one I read in this book series.

I really like PERILOUS POETRY is not just a suspense novel because you have just enough romance to make this book a great read. A well written, fast-paced cozy mystery that has well developed and likable characters with good humor and a bit of romance. Plus the setting is well described and extremely detailed so it makes the story feel even more realistic. What more could you ask for in a novel?

SUMMARY

Charli Rae Warren doesn’t plan on striking it rich as the owner of an independent bookstore in Hazel Rock, Texasβ€”especially one with a pink armadillo as its mascot. But when an ingenious advertising campaign puts her business on the map, it ropes in some deadly publicity . . . Charli can’t believe writer Lucy Barton has agreed to promote her latest Midnight Poet Society novel at The Book Barn Princessβ€”or that there’s only a week-and-a-half to prepare for the signing. It’s all because of The Book Seekers, a smartphone app created by her cousin Jamal exclusively for Charli’s bookstore, which sends fans on a virtual scavenger hunt around town for a chance to meet the bestselling author. But as soon as it goes live, people turn up dead . . . Someone’s using The Book Seekers to track victims and copycat the fictional Midnight Poet Society homicides, and horrified locals suspect Jamal could be the mastermind behind the crimes. While Charli readies the Barn for a stampede of new customers, it’ll take true grit to shelve the culprit before her brainy cousin gets locked behind bars, Ms. Barton backs out of the visit, and she finds herself up a creekβ€”with a serial killer holding the paddle!
