Homicide in Hardcover is the first in the Bibliophile Mystery series. Brooklyn Wainwright does book restoration, and is invited to attend a celebration honoring her friend and mentor Abraham Karastovsky. They had had a falling out earlier, and she was glad of the chance to regain their friendship. Abraham invites her to visit in his workroom after the event, but she arrives there to find Abraham dying. As she becomes the main suspect in the murder, she attempts to solve the crime while dealing with a handsome British security guard who is sure she is the murderer.
I enjoyed this book, and the humor in it. It has some way-out-there characters, and is a fun read.
One Book in the Grave is the sixth in the Bibliophile Mystery series, and I enjoyed it as much as the first one. When Brooklyn Wainwright is given a book to restore, she realizes that it is a book that had been stolen from a friend of hers. While investigating the book, she discovers the body of a very recently murdered book dealer, and becomes involved in solving the crime to keep herself from becoming the next victim.
