The annual fishing tournament and festival in Hokes Folly, North Carolina, is the event of the year. Antiquarian bookseller Jenna Quinn, owner of the Twice Upon a Time bookstore, is ready to catch some new customers with her fishing-themed book display at the festival. That is, until a local author is found dead. All fingers point to Frank Sutter, a former detective. His soon-to-be ex-wife had been dating the victim, and Frank had been seen having an argument with him earlier that day. When Keith Logan, Jenna’s boyfriend and detective with the local police, asks Jenna for help to solve the case, she’s shocked. This bookselling sleuth knows she will have to cast a wide net in order to catch the killer. Will her novel idea help her catch the killer, or is she bound for a more deadly ending?I really liked this cozy mystery. Jenna is a wonderful sleuth who uses her wits and connections with the police department to help solve the mystery. The setting reminded me of small towns I visited and lived in on the East Coast. It was very nostalgic for me. The plot was very confounding, I couldn't figure out who the culprit was, and I was surprised in the end. I will definitely read another book from this series. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
