Review: Coloring Crook

 

Pen and Ink Mysteries Series

(Read my review for book 1)

Florrie Fox is stunned when her friend and a member of her bookstore's coloring club comes into the bookstore with a rare and quite valuable coloring book. She has Florrie take a look to see if it could be the real deal. Dolly's excited to sell the coloring book for herself and her daughter. Maybe this could change their lives and at the same time, bring her daughter back closer to her.

That night, Florrie finds Dolly dead in her apartment - murdered. The police don't seem interested in the coloring book, but Florrie knows it's the best motive for murder. She pokes around, looking for clues, talking to Dolly's daughter, and trying to work out what really happened that night. 

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this mystery - especially the rare coloring book. It was fun learning about rare books. I love the characters in this series - from their bookstore moments to their personal lives. It's nice catching up with them again. It was interesting learning the secrets of the past and how they influenced the future. 

I was a little late to the party with these books, but that just means I have less time to wait before the next installment. I'm so looking forward to the next book in the series.

Cover Thoughts: I love the details on theses cover!
