I am reviewing a copy of Chapter and Curse through St Martin Press and NetGalley:
Molly Kimball a librarian and her Mother Nina, needs a change So when a letter arrives from Nina’s Aunt Violet in Cambridge, England requesting their help running the family bookshop, they jump at the chance.
Thomas Marlowe- Manuscripts and Folios is the oldest one of the oldest bookshops in Cambridge, and—unfortunately—customers can tell. After Molly and Nina arrive, spring has come to Cambridge and the famed Cambridge Literary Festival is underway. Molly has become determined to bring much-needed revenue to the bookstore, Molly invites Aunt Violet’s college classmate and famed poet Persephone Brightwell to hold a poetry reading in the shop. Sadly the event ends in disaster when a guest is found dead—with Molly’s great-aunt’s knitting needle used as the murder weapon. While trying to clear Violet and keep the struggling shop afloat, Molly sifts through secrets past and present, untangling a web of blackmail, deceit, and murder.
I give Chapter and Curse five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
