Off The Shelf -- A Victim at Valentine's

 

This is the fifth title in the Secret Bookcase Mystery series & doesn't disappoint.  The bookstore is the venue for a Valentine's themed matchmaking event.  All is going well, love is in the air until Annie discovers the body of one of the sponsors of the the event.  She & her loved ones are drawn into investigating with the encouragement of Annie's mentor, Detective Caldwell. This book also progresses the story of Annie's investigation of her friend's murder that occurred before the series began.

I continue to enjoy this series.  The mystery was well plotted, though I figured it out before the reveal.  I just like these characters, their relationships, and this setting.  I so wish this bookstore was real.   Definitely read this series.
