Murder is easy-on paper.

Book restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright is attending the world- renowned Book Fair when her ex Kyle shows up with a bombshell. He has an original copy of a scandalous text that could change history-and humiliate the beloved British monarchy.

When Kyle turns up dead, the police are convinced Brooklyn's the culprit. But with an entire convention of suspects, Brooklyn's conducting her own investigation to find out if the motive for murder was a 200-year-old secret-or something much more personal.

    New favorite series

    I stumbled upon the first book, Homicide in Hardcover, by accident and fell in love with it. As soon as this was released I scooped it up and haven't been able to put it down. Kate Carlisle is a genious - look out mystery world we have a new author taking over!
    Her characters are charming,funny,engaging, and loveable. It is impossible not to love Brooklyn - the main character - with her witty sarcastic humor and ability to find herself in trouble where ever she goes. Not to mention Derek, the hunky British Commander who always has her back.
    The plot was 5 star worthy with endless twists and turns that keep you guessing till the very end! Lots of wonderful characters and suspicious suspectsto keep you fully occupied.
    Very original and creative. I love Kate's writing style. This lady knows how to end a chapter! I read the last line and can't help but turn the page and keep going - it's addictive but in a very good way.

    This is certainly my new favorite mystery series - and I'm a huge mystery fan! This would make a great book for any collection or book club.
    I highly reccomend reading this series.
    Looking forward to the next installment!

    This is a fun, fluff mystery. I read it in an afternoon so it's relaxing, fun and not too taxing.

    Mystery, murder and book restoration, this book has it all.

    I loved reading this book. I love these mystery books with some off beat educational theme to them. This book has mystery, love and personalities to kill for. I love the characters,they walked off the pages for me. I really learned a lot about book restoration. I never thought how a book was made or the collectors before reading this. I felt like I took a trip to Edinburgh. I do think that Brooklyn and her parents were a little over done here. Some antics were funny then seemed like the author was trying too hard to have Bkooklyn and her parents into something. I like the romance part and the cunning Serena. I think there is so much more to Derek, when will we find out more about him? This is also though provking in the fact that maybe a lot of history was covered up in the past. this Robert Burns mystery could it be true?

    I Also Recommend:

    lots of fun

    There can be no question that you should be a book-a-holic to love this cute easy read. It has a good mixture of the educational and yet the sarcastic kind of character that I love. You definitely will learn something about books or the bibliophile but you get to laugh out loud at some of the characters too. Carlisle is good at describing characters while not boring one to death. Actually her main character reminds me a little of Kinsey Milhone in Sue Grafton's hit books. It isn't that their backgrounds are the same or anything but they have that funny, witty sarcasm popping up every now and then. A really good read.

    more from this reviewer

    A breezy fun read

    She works at the book arts center in San Francisco and is considered an expert in book restoration. Brooklyn Wainwright is also called upon to authenticate whether a book is genuine or a fake. Currently she heads to the world- renowned Edinburgh Book Fair where she will meet with friends and associates, teach a few sessions, and sit in on lectures.

    Her plan implodes when she runs into her former boyfriend Kyle McVee who asks her to authenticate a book allegedly created by eighteenth century bookbinder William Cathcart containing never before published poems written by Robert Burns in which the renowned author infers he had an affair with Princess Augusta Sophia, daughter of King George III. Rumors have survived to the present that he got her pregnant, which, if true, would leave the British royalty with a nasty black eye. He also tells her he has received threatening letters and calls. That same day whiles Brooklyn is sightseeing, she finds the body of Kyle killed with one of her bookbinding instruments. The local lead cop suspects Brooklyn so to clear her name she investigates Kyle's murder.

    As in the first Bibliophile mystery (see Homicide in Hardcover), Brooklyn finds the corpse of someone who was close to her at one time (a sub-genre hazard). The author's second cozy is a breezy fun read due to a taste of the city and false clues with dead end trails. Although in trouble with the law and who knows who else, Brooklyn keeps her sense of humor, mostly self deprecating as she finds even Princess Street dangerous. A terrific romantic subplot enhances her stay in Scotland that she hopes is not a lifetime event as she learns once again Books Could Kill to the delight of cross genre fans.
