I Love This Series

This series is so awesome because we get to go behind the scenes of restoring books. The book is realistic, always a twisty end that I can't guess in the first few chapters. Peril in Paperback takes us on a journey to the world of a rich woman who made her money in computer game programming. Pay careful attention because there are a lot of characters to follow. You might need to make a little list. Not a deterrent, just could help in the course of finding out who done it.

Original plot

I like all of the books in the series but this one went off the beaten path-- literally dunking the characters into trap doors etc. fun read!

The performance was amazing! The story was tons of fun and the denouement was a delight and a surprise lol!

I loved it! And it was like watching a Keystone cops episode, mixed up with “gone with the wind”!

A great series

The 6. book in the Bibliophilie-Mystery-Series by Kate Carlisle
I love this series so much, I had to buy the audible-edition to the e-book I purchased and read long ago. So it's the second time I've gone through this book.

I can highly recommend it. The narration in the audible-edition is very well done.

Brooklyn is most excited to catalog Grace's extensive collection of rare paperback pulp fiction.

My favorite of this series

I wish I could tell you why I enjoyed this installment so much, but I can't without giving it all away! Ibreadvthis, read a few more books in thecseries, and ca!me back to listen to it again!The perfect balance of intrigue and clarification, of snark and tears, of beloved characters and unforgettable one-off appearances.

Ever see snow?

I have to say, it was pretty silly to be "snowed in" up to the window sills one minute, then going for a walk the next. The author also seemed to think someone could bury a bird at that time of year in anything but snow. Very silly. Otherwise, a fun story, as usual and got me through the long drive.

Disappointment

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The reader to start with. I do not like her voices at all.

Would you recommend Peril in Paperback to your friends? Why or why not?

I have until now.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Voices were all just too cute.

Was Peril in Paperback worth the listening time?

I am not sure.

Any additional comments?

This is such a come down from 1 through 3 which I thoroughly enjoyed.
