Publisher's summary

Nestled in the historic waterfront town of Beaufort, North Carolina, Chapters Bed-and-Breakfast is a listener's paradise. Built in 1770, the newly renovated inn hosts a roster of special events celebrating books, genres, and authors. It's the perfect literary retreat - until a rare-book dealer turns up dead in the carriage house during a celebration of Golden Age mystery author Josephine Tey.

The victim's daughter points the finger at 42-year-old widow and former schoolteacher Charlotte Reed, who inherited the B&B from her great-aunt Isabella. Charlotte is shocked to discover that the book dealer suspected Isabella of being a thief who founded Chapters on her ill-gotten gains. Charlotte has successfully learned the B&B business in a year, but nothing has prepared her to handle a death on the premises.

Armed with intelligence and courage and assisted by her vibrant older neighbor, a visiting author, and members of a local book club, Charlotte is determined to prove her innocence and to clear her great-aunt's name. But the murderer is still at large and is equally determined to silence anyone who might discover the truth behind the book dealer's death. Now, Charlotte must outwit an unknown killer - or end up writing her own final chapter.

Enjoyable

I liked that a library was a big part of the narrative. I was a librarian.

Flat

I couldn't really get into Booked for Death. The characters and the story seemed flat. There were some imaginative sparks in the plot, but, I wasn't impressed. The narrator tried her best to bring the characters to life.

Not for me...

The narration was fine. I was enjoying the character development, I loved the historical aspects of the house, but the book was ruined for me with liberal influences. Not the book for me.
