A Deadly Edition by Victoria Gilbert

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A fun and fast-paced read from author, Victoria Gilbert and Crooked Lane Books. This cozy mystery is book number five in the Blue Ridge Library Mystery series. Amy Webber is a bride-to-be trying to focus on wedding preparations while adjusting to her newish position as director of the Taylorsford library.

Once again, she has found herself at the center of a murder mystery. Her family and friends try to caution her to steer clear and leave the investigation to the authorities. Still, Amy can’t resist getting to the bottom of a mystery — especially when suspicion is cast on her nearest and dearest. The research skills she gained as a librarian make her an exceptional sleuth and she’s quick to put those skills to work following every lead and clue.

The book was well-paced with plenty of twists. The book does a decent job of hinting towards events of previous books, but going back and reading the whole series would probably flesh out the characters and backstory better.

I received this Advanced Reader Copy of A Deadly Edition from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
