Proof of Murder

Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery Series, Book 4

De: Lauren Elliott

Narrado por: Karen White

Bookshop owner Addie Greyborne must solve a locked-room murder in a supposedly haunted mansion to recover a priceless Sherlock Holmes original...

The seaside New England town of Greyborne Harbor is home to many grand estates, including the Queen Anne Victorian Addie inherited from her great aunt. Now one of those mansions is holding an estate sale, which is just what the bookshop owner needs to replenish her supply of rare editions - even if the house is rumored to be haunted.

Assisting an overwhelmed insurance appraiser with the inventory, Addie discovers an 1887 magazine containing Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet, which she estimates to be worth over $150,000.

But when Addie later finds the appraiser dead in the estate's private library, with the door bolted from the inside, and the priceless edition missing, it's a mystery worthy of the Great Detective himself. She's certain the death and the robbery are connected - but who, other than a ghost who can walk through walls, could have gotten in to do the deed? It's up to Addie to find the key to the crime - before she's the next one cornered by a killer...

Enjoyed it

Loved how the relationships develop and flourish. The mystery was good too! Looking for the next already!

Enjoying the whole series!

I love this series! The setting is great and the ending always has enough of a twist to keep you guessing!

Locked Door Mystery

A missing Arthur Conan Doyle first edition leads to a murder with the victim inside a room locked from the inside. Abbie does work worthy of Sherlock himself to find a killer. Great work.

Most Enjoyable!

I love this series. I think this is the best one so far. Every time I thought I had the mystery solved another wrinkle was added. This one kept me guessing until near the end!

Yay! Addie chose a beau!

Glad that Addie finally made her choice in her love life, and was able to work on closure. Fun mystery, kept me guessing!

Proof of Murder

Addie always gets herself involved in situations! In this novel it involves books and a haunted house! Of course there's a body too. What is a good mystery without one? I really enjoyed the book with all of it's twists and turns!

Tried to stay with the series….

I tried to stay with the series but had to give it up after this book. I do not like the Simon character at all. Mark should have been the one for Addie. The story was good I just don’t like the way the characters turned out. First time not sticking with a series😔

Better than the last

Proof of Murder is an entertaining and enjoyable cozy mystery with engaging characters and a well written plot. There are several twists and turns and I was completely surprised at the ending. I look forward to the next book in this series.
