The annual fishing tournament and festival in Hokes Folly, North Carolina, is the high-water mark event of the year. Antiquarian bookseller Jenna Quinn, owner of the Twice Upon a Time bookstore, is ready to catch some new customers with her fishing-themed book display at the festival. That is, she was...until a local author was found dead in his booth.

All fingers point to Frank Sutter, a former detective with the police department. His soon-to-be ex-wife had been dating the victim, and Frank had been seen having an argument with him earlier that day. When Keith Logan, Jenna’s boyfriend and detective with the local police, asks Jenna for help to solve the case, she’s shocked. Frank was Keith’s former partner and someone who had been determined to pin more than one murder on Jenna. Frank doesn’t want Jenna’s help any more than Jenna wants to help him, but the two will have to put aside their animosity for each other if they want to reel in the killer.

This bookselling sleuth knows she will have to cast a wide net in order to catch the killer, even if means dangerously luring them in. Will her novel idea help her catch the killer, or is she bound for a more deadly ending?

What I Thought: I loved returning to Hokes Folly for another visit with Jenna and her friends. What would she do without Mason to help with the bookstore and Rita to help her with everything else. That's not to say that Jenna isn't smart and capable in her own right, but everyone needs a friends or 3. I particularly enjoyed watching Keith skillfully handle the town troublemakers who are intent on running Jenna out of town, but who would have thought he would ever ask Jenna, of all people, to help his ex-partner, the one who tried to railroad Jenna in a recent murder investigation, certainly not Jenna. What follows leads to many unforeseen developments, but it makes for a fun read.

Great resolution of the initial complications that began in the first book. Would love to have the next book and I’m looking forward to seeing how the author expands the world and adventures our Jena and Keith navigate on their journey for happiness

Left wanting more stories!

It was a pretty good book. The relatable and returning characters were funny, but I will say there was an almost annoying number of pseudo expletives used. Almost to the point that I would prefer actual curse words, but other than that it was a pretty good book.

Pretty Good

But please, stop with the “hot pickles on a popsicle” and like exclamations. WHO talks like that? As much as I enjoy the books and performance, I cringe every time one of those lines comes up.

Fun, enjoyable series

Another good story premise. Would like to see more of this group and their small town. Narrator did another great job for this one as well. However, I really really got tired of the not-so-funny expressions of Jenna’s frustrations. I don’t recall those being a part of the first three books. If they were, they were not as prominent as they are in this fourth book. And is that something that they do in North Carolina or something? I appreciate that foul language is not used in every other line as in some books, but this stuff is really not representative of anyone I know, and being military, I’ve lived in a lot of places in the states and overseas. Probably would not have irritated me so much had there just been occasional incidents, but there was just way too many times that she used them.

Too Many “Hot Pickles on a Corn Dog” or whatever

Loved this series. Mystery and fun. Always stepping into something with one dead body after another!

Fun series

I like the story and the author does a good job of keeping the reader guessing who is guilty. The one thing I didn’t like was the continual reference to hot pickles on a pepper and multiple food references every time there was an issue. All in all though it was a good series.

Good storyline but…….
