Death by the Book was everything I hoped it would be. The author did a fabulous job creating a cast of both main and secondary characters with a sprinkling of extras. I felt immersed in the story as the main character, Drew Farthering traveled about the village of Farthering St. John and nearby towns investigating a string of murders while still finding time to court the enchanting Madeline Felicity Parker. Drew and the constable try to decipher the cryptic clues left at the scene of each crime in the form of a note, but nothing seems to be making any sense and the only leads, leading no where at all.
One of the things I loved most about the book is that it kept me guessing until the very end, even after I thought I had it figured out. I also loved the superb job the author did transporting the reader back into the days of the 1930's.
This was the first book I've read by Julianna Deering but I'll be reading her first book, Rules of Murder, very soon. I would definitely recommend this book.
I was given a copy of this book from The Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion
Other books in this series include: book 1- Rules of Murder
