A Deadly Chapter by Essie Lang is the third book in the A Castle Bookshop mystery series. Shelby has settled in as a bookseller in the small coastal New York town. That is if she can stop finding bodies. I have to say that this one is my favorite in the series so far because since we’ve established the setting and characters the book focuses more on the mystery and I enjoyed this one.

Death on the page by  Essie Lang is the second book in the Castle Bookshop Mystery and bookstore owner Shelby Cox finds herself in the middle of another murder mystery.  But with this one she wasn't even trying to get involved.  

I enjoyed this one more than the first book in the series, and I look forward to more in the series.  This book just like with most cozy mysteries was a fairly quick read. It's a good book to read if you're looking for a temporary escape.

Trouble on the Books Review

Chapters: 38

Genre: Cozy mystery 

Rating: 4 stars 

In Trouble on the Books Shelby Cox returns to her hometown to run her aunt’s bookstore while her aunt's recovering, she didn't expect to find herself partial owner.  She'll the second location in the local tourist attraction a castle that may or may not have ties to prohibition.  A Volunteer is found murdered and the local police don't want to look farther than the castle caretaker. Shelby is convinced he innocent and wants to prove it. Along the way she butts heads with Coast Guard Investigative Services CGIS special Agent Zach Griffin.  

I enjoyed everything about this book.  Shelby while a bookworm was also tough and determined.   Her aunt was feisty and sassy the way all aunts in a cozy mystery should be, and I loved Zach.  Unlike the local law enforcement who wanted to wrap the case up quickly he wanted to investigate and actually find the real killer.  I've read many a cozy mystery with many different types but I don't think I've read a CGSI before this one so that was a different experience, but I loved it. I think it seems from the fact I love all three series in the NCIS world.   I'm looking forward to the next book in the series as well as any other books of the author. 

This book is great for readers of cozies and mystery readers a like.
