Publisher's summary

Bookshop owner Addie Greyborne must put the brakes on a killer after a death occurs behind the wheel of a bookmobile...

Addie leaves her Greyborne Harbor bookstore, Beyond the Page Books and Curios, in the capable hands of her assistant while she travels to the neighboring town of Pen Hollow to attend a book sale at a library that is closing due to lack of funding. But the real find is a bookmobile bus, which she's excited to refit as a traveling bookstore to hit all the summer festivals. The bookmobile also holds a surprising treasure: several classic first editions and an early edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.

But before the bookmobile can be delivered to Addie, a fatal car crash occurs. When an autopsy reveals poison in the victim's system and the first editions go missing, it's up to Addie to determine what would drive someone to murder. If she's not careful, however, she may be the next one to be dead on arrival...

Great~ as all the stories from this author are.Now I can’t wait to read the next one in this series

All the stories by this author are great in my opinion. Now I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

A Bookmobile of Murder

Addie heads over to Pen Hollow to attend a library sale and finds more than books for sale when she buys the bookmobile that ran to the rural areas. Then she finds herself involved in investigating a murder where she and her assistant are the prime suspects. An excellent who done it with romance.

5 stars

A Margin for Murder is an entertaining cozy mystery. I look forward to the next book.

Narration

The reading by Lauren Ezzo is difficult to follow. Voices are all the same. Would like to her the first lady, Karen White read all future books.

This one kept me guessing!

Very good story kept me guessing right up until the end. I hope some of the next stories have a plot on the bookmobile.

The story is great but the narrator makes it hard to enjoy. They need to go back to the original narrator.

Prefer narrator from start of series

Main character is just not as likable with new narrator. Talk about high maintenance! Mark and Simon should both find new women.

Very disappointed in this narrator.

I don’t understand why this narrator was chosen. Everyone sounds like they are in their 90s and barely able to breathe while talking. It’s unlistenable with this narrator. Why would a 20 something/30 something year-old character be portrayed by an older lady narrator?! And why are all of the men who are also in their 20s and 30s sounding like they are 90-year-olds on their deathbed?! I can’t even get through it, and I listen to all of Jenny’s books. Very disappointed in this narrator.

Good Story, Horrible Narrator

I was going to skip this book but I wanted to hear the book before Addie’s wedding story. This was one of the better books in the series and it kept me guessing.
Unfortunately, the new narrator is still reading and she is horrible. Please find someone else.

heads up

I don't know anyone who enjoys the lead character being accused of murder. She was persecuted until near the end.
No attorneys were brought in except the estate attorney for a minor character.
The inept corrupt sheriff and his wife had no consequences
AND the the OBGYN didn't know a woman was having twins until the 8th month.
Was this disdain for the intelligence of the reader/listener
