Synopses & Reviews
San Francisco
book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright was hoping for a fun,
relaxing weekend at a local book fair, but a murderer made other plans
in the latest in this New York Times bestselling series.
Brooklyn and her new hunky husband, Derek, are excited to be
guests at Dharma's first annual Book Festival. The entire town is
involved and Brooklyn's mom Rebecca is taking charge. In addition to all
of her other event related duties, she's got Brooklyn doing rare book
appraisals and is also staging Little Women, the musical to delight the
festival goers. If that wasn't enough, she and Meg — Derek's mom — will
have a booth where they read palms and tarot cards.
Brooklyn couldn't be prouder of her mom's do-it-all attitude, so
when a greedy local businessman who seems intent on destroying Dharma
starts harassing Rebecca, Brooklyn is ready to take him down. Rebecca is
able to hold her own with the nasty jerk until one of her fellow
festival committee members is brutally murdered and the money for the
festival seems to have vanished into thin air.
Things get even more personal when one of Brooklyn's nearest and
dearest is nearly run down in cold blood. Brooklyn and Derek go into
attack mode and the pressure is on to catch a spineless killer before
they find themselves skipping the festival for a funeral.
