Bookmarked for Death

De: Lorna Barrett

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Tricia Miles, owner of the Haven’t Got a Clue bookstore, must solve her own mystery when a bestselling author is found dead in the washroom.

Okay Second in Series

I loved the characters in the first book but for most of the second in the series, I found the main characters decidedly unlikeable for various reasons. Chapters 20-25 were actually pretty good and the characters were more likable. I’m not sure if I will continue with this series.

Fun Read

Easy quick read with twists and turns. The characters might be predictable, but an east book to enjoy.

An okay mystery... Gets better each book

So, I've listened to all of the books in this series & its proof that narration is KEY to how like able a book can be. I for one could not stand the main character Tricia. She was so incredibly unlikeable and really got under my skin. In fact, none of the characters seemed to have any redeeming qualities & I found that strange because otherwise this would be a great book considering the story line is intriguing. They later switched narrators to Karen White & WHAT a difference that made! I instantly had different feelings about each of the characters & it made this series so much more enjoyable. I have since gone back and listened to this whole series again & although I am still annoyed with this narrator, I could enjoy the plot more. It's a bit predictable but each book gets better if you stick with it!

surprised till the very end

intreeging from start to finish. love the character relationship development, along with thr mystery crime.

ok

I liked the idea of the book - mysteries set in a mystery bookstore in a town famous for bookstores - well enough to overlook my dislike of the lead character in the first book and listen to the second. I still cannot warm to the woman and I find it difficult to even articulate why. She dates a reporter but gets annoyed if he does anything that remotely intersects with her life to get a story, even though the biggest story in town took place in her store. When presented a cake made by a professional pastry chef who baked it just for her as a kindness, rather than think what wonderful friends she has, she silently laments that no one understands how she doesn't consider cake to be comfort food. However she isn't overtly bitchy or whiny, and despite these irritations and many others, the mystery was interesting enough that I never considered not finishing the book. It just didn't leave me itching to get the next one in the series.
