Shortly after arriving at the library, Brooklyn finds her mentor lying dead in a pool of blood and taps into her inner (amateur) sleuth to figure out whodunnit. At the beginning of the novel, Brooklyn attends a celebration at the local library showcasing the latest work of her lifelong teacher and mentor. The star and protagonist of Carlisle's "Bibliophile" mystery series is Brooklyn Wainwright-a book conservator (someone who repairs, restores, and preserves old books) who has been practicing her trade since she was 8 years old and now runs her own restoration business. At the time of this writing, there are 14 books in the series (15 if you count the novella released between books #4 and #5), which is exciting news for people like me who are just now discovering this series! I've had Homicide in Hardcover sitting on my bookshelf since its release and now I'm kicking myself for not having started it sooner because I loved it! On the plus side, now I can binge-read the entire series. Homicide in Hardcover is the first novel in the "Bibliophile" cozy mystery series by Kate Carlisle.
