Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Blurb: Delaney Nichols, originally of Kansas but settling happily into her new life as a bookseller in Edinburgh, works at The Cracked Spine in the heart of town. She’s recently befriended a few medical school students after they came into the shop to sell some antique medical tomes. But when one of the students’ friends is found murdered outside in the alley, Delaney takes it upon herself to help bring the murderer to justice.
During her investigation, Delaney finds some old scalpels in the bookshop’s warehouse—she finds out that they belonged to a long-dead doctor, whose story might be connected to the present-day murder. It’s all Delaney can do to race to solve this crime before time runs out and she ends up in danger herself.

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: Sounds like a good read and I've been loving cozies lately.
Since my last read of P D James, I've not been able to go to the backlog at all.
ReplyDeleteCozies are such fun, I wish I had time for a few.
ReplyDeleteI started this series, but I haven't gone back to it. It really sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of pulling books from the backlog. Cozies are perfect for right now, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love cozies set in bookshops or with bookseller characters. Thanks for sharing.
