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?
Charli Rae Warren doesnβt plan on striking it rich as the
owner of an independent bookstore in Hazel Rock,
Texasβespecially 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 canβt believe writer Lucy Barton has agreed to
promote her latest Midnight Poet Society novel at The Book
Barn Princessβor that thereβs only a week-and-a-half to
prepare for the signing. Itβs all because of The Book
Seekers, a smartphone app created by her cousin Jamal
exclusively for Charliβs 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 . . .
Someoneβs 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, itβll 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 creekβwith a serial killer holding the paddle!
