The Paper Caper by Kate CarlisleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Joseph Cabot is a very wealthy San Franciscan who owns the main newspaper in town, as well as radio stations and TV. Years ago, Brooklyn Wainwright’s husband Derek and his security team rescued Joseph from an assassination attempt. Since Joseph’s favorite author is Mark Twain, he’s endorsed the first annual Mark Twain Festival. As part of the festival activities, Brooklyn will spend a few hours every day at the Covington Library, giving demonstrations of her work at re-binding an old copy of The Prince and the Pauper. The biggest event is a citywide contest to find someone who looks like Joseph. The two men will trade places for a week as part of a publicity campaign to raise money for the Covington Library. But the fun turns frantic when a murder occurs. Now Brooklyn and Derek will have to chase clues to solve the murder before another death becomes front-page news.
This was a great cozy mystery read. I love reading about Brooklyn and Derek, and their exploits catching killers. The mystery was very puzzling, with red herrings that confounded me. I was surprised by the identity of the culprit. The setting, San Francisco, was so wonderfully described that I could envision the Covington Library and the parks. I love this series and can’t wait to read the next one.
