A Killer Clue is a fun whodunit. This is the second book in the "Hunter and Clewe" series.
Jane and Cam make a great team. A socially awkward wealthy introvert and an older librarian- what could go wrong? Murder, mayhem, and a rare book- this story was right up my alley.
This mystery was engaging and I didn't have it figured out until the end.
Enjoying this series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Crooked Lane books for an early copy for review.

A Killer Clue is the second book in the Hunter and Clewe Mystery series. Having reviewed book 1 in the series, I was anxiously awaiting book 2. I wasn't disappointed.

Jane Hunter is a librarian who has been employed by reclusive, mysterious, and wealthy Cameron Clewe to catalog his massive collection of books. In book 1, we learned most of the back story behind Clewe, his family and his North Carolina mansion. But there were still some blanks to fill in. First, there was the "Mystery Woman". Jane had found a photograph and a drawing. Who was she? And was Calvin, the heir to the estate, murdered or did he die by accident?

Jane is pondering these questions when a more serious situation emerges. While visiting a local rare book store, she comes across the body of a police detective who had investigated the murder of the original owner of the bookstore. Near the body was the daughter of the murdered man. Had she, like her incarcerated mother, been a murderer?

Jane and Cameron set out to solve the mystery. Aided by her landlord and his wife, along with her daughter, Bailey. who is taking a break in her acting career, Jane conducts her investigation despite danger to herself.

I really love this series. The writing is crisp. The plot is well thought out and involving. The characters are engaging. I strongly recommend this book and the series.

This smart mystery incorporates everything I love in a book - the characters are complex (with details regarding their personalities etc., divvied out when needed), the story moves quickly, and the twists and turns are well-placed. I really enjoyed the unpredictability of A Killer Clue and look forward to the next sleuthing adventure.

What a cute read! Cameron and Jane made a adorable sleuthing team. The retired librarian along with the collector are teaming up again when a local bookshop owner needs their help. Eloise owns a local bookstore, now she needs the help of Cameron and Jane to prove her father did not commit murder. This is a beautiful read! I enjoyed the banter between Cameron and Jane. I hope to see another novel with them soon. I would absolutely recommend this book to any friends and family!

It's been a while since I've read a really good mystery and this definitely broke that streak. I loved it! It felt more exciting than some thrillers that I read so I definitely enjoyed that aspect of it

A Killer Clue is the second installment in the Hunter and Clewe mystery series. Eloise Anderson's mother dies after spending many years in prison for murdering her husband in their bookstore. Eloise is sure her mother is innocent and begs Cam and Jane to help clear her mom's name. Jane pays a visit to the bookstore and finds Eloise next to the dead body of the police detective who investigated her Dad's murder. Eloise swears she is innocent but Jane is sure she is hiding something. This was a good solid mystery with plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing. I like the main characters of the eccentric 33 year old Cam and the nurturing 60 year old Jane. They make a good team. The ending hints at the next mystery in this series. I can't wait to read it!

The second installment in Victoria Gilbert's cozy Hunter and Clewe mystery series, A Killer Clue is an engaging whodunit that pulls readers back into the literary-minded crime-solving world of librarian Jane Hunter and eccentric collector Cameron Clewe. When local bookshop owner Eloise Anderson seeks help clearing her mother's name in a decades-old murder case, Jane and Cam unravel a twisty plot involving secret pasts, coded clues, and potential copycat killers.

Gilbert has a true talent for crafting unpredictable page-turners filled with plenty of drama and red herrings to keep mystery devotees guessing. Though the narrative falters at times, the intriguing cold case premise combined with a killer final reveal makes A Killer Clue a solidly entertaining read for fans of the genre. Gilbert is an emerging voice bringing a fresh contemporary perspective to the classic whodunit formula.

This second in the Hunter and Clewe Mystery series is equal to the first. Jane is still cataloging for Cam, enjoys a visit from her actress daughter, and gets involved in another murder investigation. At first, she and Cam look at the evidence from a cold case involving the owner of an antique bookstore. His wife has been in prison for years for the murder but their daughter does not think her mother did it. In the middle of this, another murder occurs, which brings up much more drama. The author seems to spend a large amount of time on the dress and appearance of the characters. I know this helps the reader to envision everyone, but when it gets to the point that I get tired of reading it, it may be too much. I did like the mystery and I still like the older woman/younger man scenario. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for providing an ARC.

#AKillerClue #NetGalley is the second book in this series by one of my favorite authors.
Jane is a librarian and Cam is a wealthy introvert, who Jane is helping to catalogue his enormous library.
When the owner of the local bookstore asks Cam and Jane to investigate the death of her mother, they have no idea what they are getting involved in.
Stolen books, deceit, and wronged friendships are just a few things that Jane and Cam encounter in this fantastic book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
