Book Review: Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower

 


Crime and Poetry - Amanda Flower - Book 1 in A Magical Bookshop Mystery Series - 4.5 Stars

What a fun, cute cozy mystery! Amanda Flower always has the best characters in her cozy mysteries and this one did not disappoint! Throw in a cute tuxedo cat and you've got me sold! I really enjoyed my time with this one and look forward to book 2. This one is all about Violet who goes home after many years away to expect her Grandmother on her death bed, but finds her in perfect health. The plan was to get Violet back home to work in her magical bookstore, Charming Books. Violet has intentions of going back home to Chicago but a man dies in the bookstore and her Grandma is the prime suspect. Violet has to clear her Grandma's name and figure out why she was the number 1 person in this man's will.....

I loved the audiobook on this one - highly recommend as the narrator was great. 

For those curious about the "magic" element in this one, its very light and not over the top. Its more like the books open up randomly to those who take hold of them or they try to reveal hints about things along the way etc. Very charming indeed! The content in general is clean and a cute light cozy mystery I had fun reading. I feel like Amanda Flower has this writing style that just welcomes you right in to the comfort of the book. The family element always makes me the most happy! We do have a hint of romance and I hope to see more of that in the following books in this series.
