I keep ordering these books like crazy because I can't get enough! This series is a new favorite of mine, and I may just have to include it in another one of my blog posts entitled The 7 Best Cozy Mystery Series. Ripped from the Pages provides an excellent armchair vacation for the avid mystery reader.The Lies That Bind is the 3rd novel in the Bibliophile cozy mystery series by Kate Carlisle. The plot builds to a satisfying conclusion with lots of twists and turns that were thoroughly entertaining. I not only enjoyed watching the mystery unravel, but catching up with series favorites as well as the introduction of new characters kept me reading. In the latest installment of the Bibliophile Mysteries, “book doctor” Brooklyn Wainwright is reconnecting with family, solving a 70-year-old murder, excavating treasure and participating in some Sonoma-style wine tasting. And third, fans are able to learn something whether it’s regarding a special interest, human nature or both. Second,there’s a cast of compelling characters that readers care about the series provides an opportunity to catch up with old friends. First, it offers a great, thought-provoking whodunit that keeps the reader guessing. Ripped from the Pages by Kate Carlisle excels in the three things that define a good cozy mystery series. It's the reader's choice whether all the New Age accoutrements are charming or a cause for eye-rolling. It's an intriguing setup, but the characters are mostly on the thin side, so it's hard to care what happens to them. Brooklyn turns sleuth when a threatening stranger arrives in Dharma.

Guru Bob, the commune leader, is the descendant of one of those French migr s. in secret, as the French wanted to save it from the Nazis. What's more, the cave contains a treasure trove of European artwork transported to the U.S. Not surprisingly, there's a body in the cave, the mummified remains of a Frenchman. Brooklyn and her hunky boyfriend, English security expert Derek Stone, are in Dharma, Calif., when a cave is opened on the property of the Sonoma County winery run by the commune where Brooklyn's parents live. Rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright knows as much about finding corpses as she does about books, as shown in Carlisle's uneven ninth bibliophile mystery (after 2014's The Book Stops Here).
