A Bibliophile Mystery.
This is the first book in a series. I was quite happy with this book as I basically plucked it off the bookstore shelf based on the fact it was a mystery with a book theme. Carlisle gives us a quick-paced and action-filled mystery. Usually I can see the "solution" quite soon in most mystery novels these days but this one kept me guessing. I look forward to finding the next book in the series.
From amazon.com:
The streets of San Francisco would be lined with hardcovers if rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright had her way. And her mentor wouldn’t be lying in a pool of his own blood on the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration.
With his final breath he leaves Brooklyn a cryptic message, and gives her a priceless—and supposedly cursed—copy of Goethe’s Faust for safekeeping.
Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft, thanks to the humorless—but attractive—British security officer who finds her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the clues left behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice…
