Twelve Books of Christmas by Kate Carlisle

 

Brooklyn and Derek plan a special Christmas Eve buffet with all the trimmings. The festive mood takes a twist when a phone call interrupts with an invitation to a wedding in Scotland. It should be a merry occasion, but the phone call ends with the news that twelve books have been lost or stolen from their library. These were first editions that would fetch a handsome price.

Off to Scotland at a moment's notice, with mom and dad tagging along. There’s lots going on in the castle in Scotland and so many people. So many suspicious people. I had to keep a cheat sheet to follow who was who, who knew what, and what their motive might be.

Lots of food, tons of drinks and planning for a wedding with little notice to anyone. There’s a lot to be learned about book binding and archery. There was just a lot going on with many people that made the missing books a small tidbit to deal with.

And then there’s murder. I was two-thirds through the book before the body was found.

The book provides an interesting description of a week among friends with some scary noises, bats and a weird librarian. Quite a mix.

I received an advanced reader copy from #Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
