“San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright's latest project is for the birds, but it may have her running for her life...”

The Covington Library is hosting an exhibit featuring John James Audubon's “Birds of America.” There is a big gala, and Brooklyn encounters her dear friend, Genevieve, who is very upset, but that's an issue to be dealt with later. She also meets Jared Mulrooney, who is the president of the National Bird-watchers Society...who accidentally ruined a book...and ends up dead during the gala. Who murdered him and why? Why does Brooklyn keep finding bodies? There are always books involved. Her parents’ spiritual leader told her that she was here to speak for the dead. That gives one perspective.

Oh how I love this series! Kate Carlisle has come through again with yet another riveting story. I am such a book geek that, when there is a book about someone who restores books and solves murders and it's done in an intelligent manner, I am just over the moon!

I have to admit that I'm also thrilled that this is a hard cover edition. I love holding a solid steady book in my hands while reading about a character who restores books. It's simply perfect!

If you've not yet discovered or read any other books in this series-- it's fine to start with this one, but I can almost guarantee you'll be running to catch the first nine!
