Book Review of Homicide in Hardcover (Bibliophile, Bk 1)

Homicide in Hardcover (Bibliophile, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 5


cute, but this book has it all:
the young, blonde, cute protagonist who is overshadowed by a flambouyant friend.
the male protagonist who is drop dead gorgeous and RICH and who falls for her.
the lesbian friends.
the inheritance so she ends up rich at the end.
the wacky but wonderful mother.

With this list of cliches, if you are an avid mystery reader, you can probably name half a dozen books with these identical elements.

Still, if you overlook the lack of depth to the characters (people are either 100% good or 100% evil), overlook the cliches, and overlook the predictability of the plot and the fact that each plot "twist" is very expected, then this is a cute book for a first work by a brand new author.
