Double Booked for Death


This is the first book in a cozy mystery series.  Darla inherits a book store from her aunt and moved to New York City to run it.  Part of the deal of the store is also inheriting Hamlet, her aunt's cranky big black cat.  But Hamlet seems to have a talent for solving mysteries, which comes in handy when an author is killed at Darla's store during a book signing event.  Darla and her security expert, Jake, a retired NYC cop, begin their own investigation into the author's death.


This book had great characters, especially Darla, Jake, James and Hamlet.  The setting of a book store is one of my favorites for a mystery book.  I will definitely continue this series and cannot wait for book #2.
