This was a fun book. The characters are interesting, the story line is engaging and different than standard cozy mysteries I enjoyed the bits with the animals the most. I was surprised by the culprit at the end, there were some interesting twist to the story. #ReadorAlive #NetGalley

The Georgia Antiquarian Book Society is holding their annual fair in Catalpa Springs thanks to Cleo’s gentleman friend, Henry. But when a book scout swindles some pretty rare and pricey books from local women, it’s no surprise he’s found murdered. Unfortunately the man is found behind Henry’s store and Cleo’s cousin Dot is one of the women who were stolen from. This time it’s even more personal and Cleo needs to do her best to find the true murderer and the missing books, before Henry or Dot are sent up the river.

A fun series with the coolest Librarian ever! I love reading and to have so many references to books makes this an even more enjoyable series.

I've really become a lover of this fun cozy series.
Miss Cleo and her bookmobile make the series very entertaining and the characters have become real to me.
During an antiquarian book show, a murder takes place and Miss Cleo has double the reason to ask questions. Her cousin Dot is a suspect, along with Miss Cleo's significant other, Henry.
The victim is a smarmy con artist who is preying on older residents, trying to con them out of their precious treasures, BOOKS!
Even though the police chief thinks he has caught the perpetrator, Miss Cleo knows Dot and Henry are innocent. With a little help from her friends, Miss Cleo soon begins unraveling the clues that lead to the real murderer.

Nora Page has brought these wonderful characters to life, including Mr. Chaucer, the pug, and Rhett, her cat.
This is a series that I could read several times and never grow bored.
I highly recommend this series to any lover of cozy mysteries.
