A Limited Edition Murder by Lauren Elliott - 3 stars!


Although enjoying her extended stay working at Second Chance Books and Bindery in West Yorkshire, England, Addie Greyborne feels adrift. The engagement party of her dear friend, Tony, at Milton Manor promises to be a joyful distraction. When Tony presents his fiancĂ© with a special copy of Wuthering Heights as an engagement gift, the lord of the manor insists the book was stolen from his library. Afterwards, Addie takes her Yorkipoo, Pippi, out for a walk on the moors and stumbles across the body of a young woman. The police suspect Tony of foul play. Addie vows to get to the bottom of what’s going on. But it’s a twisted, treacherous path to the truth and Addie will need to watch her every step.
As a singular mystery, this story was very good. It had likeable characters, a great plot, and a wonderful setting that I would love to visit. The only problem was I couldn't see it as part of the existing series. It seemed very discombobulating to read Addie in a totally different environment with new characters. Since I started liking these characters, will I ever see them again in any other stories? As readers, we should have had more background on why she went to England in the first place. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
