Peril In Paperback by Kate Carlisle


First, I was intrigued by the title, next the main character’s name is Brooklyn.  I had to read it and see what it was about.  Also, the book is subtitles as “a bibliophile mystery.”  Naturally, I wanted to see how books fit in the story. 

This is a mystery book about a book restorer by the name of Brooklyn Wainright.  It seems that she always gets involved in murders and there are other books that the author has written about Brooklyn. 

The author held my interest. A group of people are spending the week at a country estate to celebrate the owner’s 50th birthday.  When guests start dying – the mystery begins.  If you have ever seen the movie “Ten Little Indians”, you’ll know the plot - and actually, it was mentioned in the book.

I would recommend it as a quick week-end read.
