Continuing with this series. Enjoyable cozy read, especially as audio on my commute. This one involves solving the mystery of a skeleton & rare book found on the Storyton estate. Another poisoning (this seems to be the murder weapon of choice in this series). The next book is going to have a change of setting, which I think will be good.

My kindle and then my phone died last night so no picture. This was by far my favorite of the series. I didn't see the killer coming at all, and the mystery surrounding the Fins and Templars went deeper. The story arc at the end will actually carry into the next book for the first time, making me even more excited for the next installment. Plus books about books- you can't go wrong!

Kshakal I just started this book... I love this series so much!! 6y
BethM @Kshakal me too! 6y
