“We reveal more of ourselves in the lies we tell than we do when we try to tell the truth.” - Dorothy Salisbury Davis
This is the 5th book of the Bookstore Mystery Series. Bookstore related mysteries have a seperate hype among the readers. Jen Dawson, is a murder mystery writer, who learns the case from her friend Marcus where Jaylon had been accused. She assumes it to be a falsely accused case. Being a novelist alone, will she able to solve a real case!?
The best part I admire about the book is how the author had framed Jen's character. Say if a common person or a next door girl tries to solve a murder mystery, she would surely miss crucial evidences, have wrong leads and trust unknown sources, all of these can be felt in the journey of Jen's investigation. The fact is that author tried to bring out that what we write and read is entirely different when we experiment it in real life. While her investigations begins there comes another death which I find quote common in mystery books.
