Gemma Doyle and her friends are in London for her sister Pippa’s wedding. Waiting for her in the hotel lobby is none other than Gemma’s ex-husband, Paul Erikson. Paul has a rare book he wants her to see. Gemma agrees to meet him at their old shop, Trafalgar Fine Books, the following day. But when Gemma arrives, accompanied by Grant, a rare book dealer, they find Paul dead in his office. Because of their previous relationship, Gemma feels she owes something to Paul and vows to find his killer.
This was an interesting cozy mystery full of intriguing characters and a setting that was so beautifully described I felt that I was in London with Gemma. I loved how some of the side characters were there to help with the investigation. They were a lot of fun and made me laugh. The pacing seemed off. Some of the chapters were really long and some of the chapters were really short. Some scenes dragged on, and some scenes seemed too quick. I can't wait to read the next one in this series. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
