Bound by Murder

Antique Bookshop Mystery Series, Book 3

De: Laura Gail Black

Narrado por: Susan Boyce

The birds are singing, books are selling, and the Hokes Bluff Inn has begun to host weddings on its property. Antiquarian bookseller Jenna Quinn loves the romance in the air—until her ex-fiancé, Blake Emerson, walks in with his bride-to-be, Missy Plott. Blake continues to profess his love for Jenna if she’ll have him back, no matter the consequences. And the consequences are grave, indeed, when Missy turns up dead.

All evidence points to Blake, who was the last one to see her alive. He begs Jenna to help him clear his name. Blake’s mother, Gwendolyn, is also bent on exonerating her son. Jenna doesn’t believe Blake could have killed Missy, and she starts digging for suspects. It could have been Missy’s ex-boyfriend, who proclaims a love for her he says only death could sever. Or might it have been Missy’s bitter little sister, who was secretly besotted with Missy’s ex.

Evidence turns up that links Missy's death to embezzlement and another murder—crimes that had falsely implicated Jenna herself less than a year ago. As Gwendolyn continues to beg Jenna to help prove her son’s innocence, Jenna wonders if Blake could truly be innocent. Jenna has to choose whether to risk it all—her reputation, her growing relationship with her boyfriend, and maybe her life—or let a possibly innocent man go to prison.

very entertaining.

this is a really good series and I really enjoyed listening to it. it had a good plot and the narrator as usual did a great job.

Love the series

Great mystery. Excellent reading and narration. Love the characters. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Loved it

I can’t wait to start another book by this author and I really enjoy the narrator

I Didn't Want It To End

This is one of my favorite series, and this book did not disappoint. Jenna, Keith, Rita, Matt, Tisha - all such relatable personalities with great chemistry. Oh, and I mustn't forget Eddie, Jenna's sweet rescue, and a new character who fits right into the mix.The dialogue is intelligent and often witty. My emotions ran the gamut in this one, including some laugh out loud moments. The plot is well written, and there are enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I did not suspect the culprit unti just before the reveal. Jenna also gets some closure regarding her former legal troubles in Charlotte. There is only one downside and that is I must now wait for the next outing with Jenna and crew. I highly recommend this book.

Unpredictably enjoyable!

This book was an enjoyable listen. I did not want it to end so I listened to the final chapter twice! The narrator was impressive and made each character believable and distinctive. I read the trio of books in succession and throughly enjoyed each. I anxiously anticipate reading more from author, Laura Gail Black!
