Synopsis
murder is always a bestseller...
first in the new bibliophile mystery series!
The streets of San Francisco would be lined with hardcovers if rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright had her way. And her mentor wouldn't be lying in a pool of his own blood on the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration.
With his final breath he leaves Brooklyn a cryptic message, and gives her a priceless—and supposedly cursed—copy of Goethe's Faust for safekeeping.
Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft, thanks to the humorless—but attractive—British security officer who finds her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the clues left behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice...

April 13, 2009: I was disappointed. Maybe this is a mystery for 20-somethings. Found the setting, the character motivations, the climax and the murderer improbable. By the time the ending was revealed, I didn't care anymore. Did not find the heroine/ sleuth engaging or particularly likeable. Characters' quirks were grating, rather than charming or funny or provocative. While I love leather-bound books and was (initially) interested in how they are restored, I now know more than I wanted to know!

April 02, 2009: I liked everything about Homicide in Hardcover, from the quirky, interesting characters to the deliciously fast-paced plot. Ms. Carlisle's writing style is original, and so smooth that you're into the book and involved in the charcters before you know it. I was well into chapter three before I realized I was still standing rooted in the bookstore aisle, blocking other patrons! Ha! Its a top read for the year for me and a definate keeper!
