A nice installment to the series! I don’t know if I liked this one as much as book 1, but I still enjoyed this cozy. Loved the fall vibes! Greta is a great (& strong!) female lead. I enjoyed getting to know her more and see that romance blossom with the detective. I’ll keep my eye out for book 3!

Mayhem in Circulation by Leah Dobrinska is the second book in the series. I had not read the first book, and maybe I would have connected with this book more if I had. This is your typical cozy mystery. Readers of that genre might enjoy this book. However, I found this book hard to get through because it did not capture my attention. The small town setting was nice. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I thought this was really well written and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I think it will find readers at our library, so we will definitely be purchasing for the collection.

As someone who has read the first book in the series it feels as if Mayhem in Circulation didn’t have much action. We ramped up the relationship between Greta and Detective McHenry, but that’s as far as it goes.

The big reveal at the end fell flat. Glad to check back in with the librarians of Larkspur.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read the ARC. All thoughts are my own.

Thank you Level Best Books and NetGalley for the eARC of Mayhem in Circulation! All opinions in this review are my own.

Mayhem in Circulation is the second book in the Larkspur Library Mysteries series. While I liked the first book, Death Checked Out, this sequel has so much happen in it and has so many twists that you have to check it out! I ended up reading this one in three days because I couldn't put it down!

Set in the small town of Larkspur, the local librarian Greta is preparing for the Fall Festival when a disaster strikes. Greta must find who is behind all of the recent crimes in Larkspur before the town's name is tarnished!

I like that the author writes slightly shocking cozies and each book in the Larkspur Library Mysteries series has been great!

Ok so I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first. Since I was already familiar with the character it was easier to get into the story and this one kept me guessing until the end! I still love the main character Greta. And we the readers get to see her friendship (potential relationship?!?) with Detective McHenry grow in this book.
Was this still a cheesy cozy mystery…100% and that’s what I enjoyed the most about it.
This book was a great addition to the series and I really hope to continues!

Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for the digital copy!

I received a digital copy in exchange for an honest review

Book 2 in the Larkspur Library Mystery series - I really enjoyed book one, which felt fresh for a cozy mystery. Book two wasn’t quite as fresh or gripping for me, but still a nice installment in a cute, small town mystery series. I wish the action had picked up earlier in the book and that the characters had been a little more fleshed out in book two. Enjoyed the further development between Greta, our MC, and the detective!

The potential premise for a third book sounds promising (a library conference in larkspur), so I’d probably pick up it up for a low stakes, cozy read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a digital arc for review. All opinions are my own.

I did not know this was the second book in a series when I picked it up, but I still enjoyed my time reading this and it was an easy and quick read. The vibes in the book were perfect for fall and I really enjoyed the characters in this one. I will definitely pick up the first book in the series even though I'm reading out of order, and I'm excited for more books in this series.

This book was great, it felt fresh and not like anything else I've read lately. It kept me intrigued all the way through, I didn't want to put it down.

I love cozy mysteries. And Finding a cozy mystery in which the heroine and the one solving the mystery being a librarian at that is one of my favorite types of cozies. Because there' s just something about a mystery taking place in a library is chef's kiss. And lets face it Librarians' are cool.

Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Leah Dobrinska

When I requested this book I was unaware that it was apart of a series, one that requires you to read the previous books for this one to make sense. I am unable to read all the previous books along with this one before the publish date. Therefore, I will rate this a fair 3/5 stars and will adjust the rating and review when I am able to read all the books in the series along with this one.

This book was cool. It had everything I expected. The characters were nice. I liked Greta's friendships. I also liked the path the sequel it will take. My only problem with the book was that it wasn't cozy/mysterious enough. It felt a bit bland. I like books with just a little something extra.

If you're in the mood for a cutesy, cozy autumn mystery, this book provides you that in just the right size dose. I requested this ARC based on thee blurb and the cover, and while they correspond well to the book, I wanted more from the story. That's on me more that the author though.

A cute cozy mystery and a quick read, but not for me.
There were times when the writing felt stilted and awkward in some spots and there wasn't as much character development as l'd hoped.

I loved this cover - and was so looking forward to reading based on the description! Started a little slow but then I couldn't put it down. I wish it touched a bit more on romance between the main characters but was still a great read overall. Thank you for the ARC!

a delightful rollercoaster of a read! From the first page, I was hooked on the quirky characters and the unexpected twists in the storyline. Dobrinska has a knack for blending humor with a touch of mystery, creating a captivating narrative that kept me entertained throughout. The small-town charm and the witty dialogue made this book a quick and enjoyable escape. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted romp with a dose of mayhem, this is the perfect pick! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Level Best Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you so much!
