The Cracked Spine --This Month's Cozy Mystery Club Selection


Have you read this cozy mystery? It's this month's book selection for the Cozy Mystery Book Club! If you have read The Cracked Spine by Paige Shelton or if you don't mind spoilers, join us for the book club live stream on Tuesday, March 29th at 6:00 pm EST.  The link is below:




 


I enjoyed this book and will be reading on in the series!  Here are my bullet points of what I enjoyed:

*Great setting, A bookstore in Scotland, what's not to love! 
*There is a budding romance that doesn't involve the sleuth and a police detective. 
*Our sleuth quickly finds a real home and a community that embraces her
*Paige Shelton gives us a plenty of potential suspects but we are able to keep the characters straight.
* Delaney doesn't spend a bunch of time in her head worried about her weight!
*Possible hint of otherworldly happenings as one would expect in Scotland
*Men in kilts!

There is plenty of room for us to learn much more about the characters we met in the story, I liked them and I thought the mystery was good, but I don't feel that connection to Delaney or the other characters that move a cozy from a 4 to a 5. I hope that book two will give me that connection.

Overall a nice, cozy read! 4 out of 5 stars
