I took a break from The Count Of Monte Cristo to read Peril In Paperback by Kate Carlisle. This is the 5th book in the Bilophie Series by Kate Carlisle and like the others was an enjoyable read. Brooklyn Wainwright is a book restorer that helps solve murder mysteries. She isn’t a detective for hire, just happens to be around when a murder is committed. In this novel she is up in Lake Tahoe celebrating her neighbor Suzie’s aunt Suzie's birthday. Her boyfriend Derek Stone is away for business, but her friend Gabriel is around to help solve the mystery. She is surrounded by the same people and I enjoyed the book, but it might be my least favorite so far. While it was a light fun read, it was a little too much of Brooklyn worrying about her boyfriend Derek. The setting of the Fun House was a little too far fetched too. It was just hard to visualize the mansion and I missed the lack of Derek (romance) and her parents in the book. There was one phone scene with her mother and father, but otherwise they were pretty much removed from the story. Overall I did enjoy the book and wish I didn’t have to wait until next year for the next installment- but since I still have at least 87 more books to read I guess waiting isn’t a bad thing.
A- 92%
