Week 16 Reviews: Much Ado About Murder, Crime and Publishing, Plot and Bothered



From Goodreads:
All's fair in love and murder.

The Shakespeare Festival has come to the village, and all of Argleton has gone bard-crazy. Mina's excited about Nevermore being the festival's official bookstore, but a rival bookshop opens up across the green and completely cramps her style.

When the bookshop's owner is found clobbered to death by his own First Folio, Mina and Quoth are determined to stick their nose (and beak) in to solve the case. But with a real Shakespearean fairy running around the village and Morrie determined to curse the performance, Mina and her men already have their hands full.

With help from a troublesome Puck – and absolutely no help from Mina's mother's latest scheme – will they solve the crime and save the festival, or is it the final curtain call for Nevermore Bookshop?

The Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries are what you get when all your book boyfriends come to life. Join a brooding antihero, a master criminal, a cheeky raven, and a heroine with a big heart (and an even bigger book collection) in this fun and steamy reverse harem paranormal mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Steffanie Holmes.

The pen is deadlier than the sword, especially when it's filled with poison. Mina Wilde is thrilled to be invited to a prestigious writers' retreat at Meddleworth House. Heathcliff, Morrie, and Quoth decide to come along to keep her company and indulge in some of the estate's many activities. Mina is excited to get feedback on her first novel, but her dreams of writing stardom are shattered when the other writers tear her work to pieces. A little criticism never hurt anyone, right? 

Wrong. Their picturesque country holiday soon turns deadly when a violent storm closes in. As the writers gather around the fire to critique each other's work, the power goes out. When the lights come back on, they discover one of them has been murdered by his own pen! The only people who could have possibly committed this crime were the other writers, and with no way in or out of the manor house, Mina throws herself into solving this locked room mystery. But as our favorite sleuth eliminates her suspects, she must face a terrifying truth. There are three other people who could have got into the room and committed the murder – her boyfriends. How far will Morrie, Quoth, and Heathcliff go to save Mina's literary reputation?

From Goodreads:
Wedding bells are ringing in Nevermore Bookshop, but Mina's got more than seating charts and cake mishaps to worry about when the vicar turns up dead. Will our foursome be able to tie the knot amongst the chaos and carnage? Find out in the final book in the Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries – Plot and Bothered.
