To please her boyfriend, police chief David Rainwater, Violet Waverley agrees to take part in a bicycle race. While she does bike a lot around town, racing for 30 miles is really a stretch for her. Before they can finish the race, however, one of the bikers takes a spill down a treacherous hill. At first it seems like an unfortunate accident, but upon inspection of the bike, it was deemed a murder. The deceased was a PI who had taken special interest in Violet and her activities. The magic in the bookshop keeps throwing Walt Whitman’s books at Violet, so she knows it has something to do with the crime. But what, she can’t figure out. It’s quite an intriguing mystery. It’s well written and imaginative in structure, and peopled with delightful and likable characters. ( ) I am enjoying this series, especially the cat, Emerson. I felt at times the author was a bit repetitive. I understand bringing people up to date, especially if they haven't read the previous books, but there was repetition of some of the back within this same book. I'm looking forward to the next book. Violet and David participate in a bike ride to raise funds to repair the village hall. During the race Joel Redding, a private investigator who has been following Violet, is murdered. It looks as though as friend of Violet's is the culprit so Violet sets out to solve the murder. Can she do it before David brings charges? I enjoyed this book. I liked that Violet and David are getting closer. I also liked that David tells Violet she has to let him know what she is holding back. It was interesting how Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman is throughout the story and how Violet works to discover the answers in the book. I enjoy this series and look forward to reading the next book. 4 stars This was a great cozy, the case was interesting involving a famous American poet but the best thing about this series are the characters. Violet is terrific as the main character and I’m so happy that Cozies Reading Challenge In this forth installment of the Magical Bookshop Mysteries, Violet Waverly contends with mildly pushy Grandma Daisy, who is now the mayor of Cascade Springs. Daisy has just organized a bike race to benefit the soon to be finished city museum in city hall. Violet promised to take time from the Charming Bookshop to ride in the race with her boyfriend police chief David Rainwater. Violet was a bit on edge as a PI seemed to be stalking her every move, and she was worried that the PI was trying to discover the secret of the magical bookshop. However, before she and Rainwater could finish the race, there was a biking accident and a man was killed. This was a pleasant mystery set along the Niagara River. The story had enough twists snd turns to keep me reading. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Fiction.
Mystery.
With the help of Walt Whitman's works, magical bookshop owner Violet Waverly puts her pedal to the metal to sleuth a bicycle-race murder that tests her mettle. A bicycle race is not Charming Books proprietor Violet Waverly's idea of a pleasant pastime. But police chief David Rainwater wheelie wants them to enter the Tour de Cascade as a couple, so she reluctantly consents. The Tour de Cascade is the brainchild of Violet's Grandma Daisy. The race is a fundraiser to build the Cascade Springs Underground Railroad Museum. But not everyone in this Niagara Region village supports the race. As if the bike race weren't tiring enough, pesky private investigator Joel Redding is snooping around Charming Books. It takes all of Violet's and Grandma Daisy's ingenuity to keep Redding from discovering the shop's magical essence-which communicates with Violet through books. When Redding perishes in an accident during the race, David discovers that the brake line of the private eye's bike was cut. Worse, Violet tops his list of suspects. As Emerson the tuxedo cat and resident crow Faulkner look on, Charming Books steers Violet to the works of Walt Whitman to solve the crime. But no other names ring a bell as culprits, and as David's investigation picks up speed, Violet will have to get in gear to clear her name. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
