Brooklyn and Derek are finally tying the knot ut because she has planned everything so well and all the details are taken care of, Derek convinces Brooklyn that it's fine for the week before the wedding if she participates in a library conference and shows off her skills as a book restorer/bookbinder. At the conference, Brooklyn runs into her two roommates from graduate school that she has not seen in years. There had been a major argument between Heather and Sara over a man (who had been Heather's boyfriend but ended up with Sara) and in the fallout, Brooklyn lost both friends. When Sara is found literally buried under crates of books in the storage area, Brooklyn is worried that Heather may have been involved because of the continued animosity between the two. Or could it have been related to the rare book that Sara had given Brooklyn as a gift? I loved this mystery, bringing some of Brooklyn's past history to light as well as being woven together with wedding plans/wedding. My heart was pounding at the end. The characters were so fun. I got this book from an audio book site , CHIRP - the audio version was very well done. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"In the latest in this New York Times bestselling series, matrimony and murder collide as San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright walks down the aisle... Brooklyn has it all covered. She's triple-checked her wedding to-do list, and everything is on track for the upcoming ceremony with the love of her life, security expert Derek Stone. Not everyone has been as lucky in love as Brooklyn. Her old college roommates Heather and Sara lost touch twelve years ago when Sara stole Heather's boyfriend. Brooklyn was caught in the middle and hasn't seen her former besties since their falling-out. When they both show up at her surprise bridal shower, Brooklyn is sure drama will ensue. But she's touched when the women seem willing to sort out their differences and gift her rare copies of The Three Musketeers and The Red Fairy Book. Brooklyn's prewedding calm is shattered when one of her formerly feuding friends is found murdered and Brooklyn determines that one of the rare books is a forgery. She can't help but wonder if the victim played a part in this fraud, or if she was targeted because she discovered the scam. With a killer and con artist on the loose, Brooklyn and Derek--with the unsolicited help of their meddling mothers--must catch the culprit before their big day turns into a big mess"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Alas, this book centered around Brooklyn and Derek's wedding, and I don't like weddings much. On top of this, while there is a book at the center of the mystery, there's only one scene about bookbinding/conservation and it was brief and had little to do with the plot.
Speaking of plot it was ... scattered. Even with an epilogue that tied things up it never felt like the criminal solution ever came together. Everything is answered, but there wasn't a sense of satisfaction about it. Carlisle does get a bonus point for incorporating every bibliophile's secret fear: death by book avalanche.
Buried in Books struck me as more about Brooklyn and Derek's romance than about plotting out a great murder mystery. This is a letdown, but the characters go a long way towards staving off complete disappointment. Hopefully if there's a next book, it'll be more focused on the dead bodies and books. ( )
