Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday March
5, 2019. We will be discussing Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle.
This is the first book in the Bibliophile Mystery series featuring Brooklyn
Wainwright, a book restorer who works to solve the murder of her mentor.
The synopsis from the author’s website is “Brooklyn
Wainwright is a skilled surgeon. Sure, her patients might smell like mold and
have spines made of leather, but no ailing book is going to die on her watch.
The same can't be said of Abraham Karastovsky, Brooklyn's friend and former
employer.
On the eve of a celebration for his latest book restoration,
Brooklyn finds her mentor lying in a pool of his own blood. With his final
breath, Abraham leaves Brooklyn with a cryptic message, "Remember the
Devil," and gives her a priceless—and supposedly cursed—copy of Goethe's
Faust for safekeeping.
Brooklyn suddenly finds herself accused of murder and theft,
thanks to Derek Stone, the humorless—and annoyingly attractive—British security
agent who found her kneeling over the body. Now she has to read the clues left
behind by her mentor if she is going to restore justice and save her own
life...”
We will be meeting in the Second Floor Meeting Room at 7:00
pm.
