Brooklyn has done everything she can to prepare for her nuptials with Derek and simply can't wait to start her new life with him. But things don't go as planned when Brooklyn's former college friends, Heather and Sara, show up at her bridal shower. Brooklyn is touched, however, when each woman gifts her a rare first edition: The Blue Fairy Book and The Three Musketeers, respectively. When one of them is found murdered and one of the rare books is deemed a forgery, Brooklyn can't help but wonder if the victim played a part in this fraud or if a murderer is still out there scamming and killing. Wedding jitters, counterfeit books, and a killer on the loose could ruin Brooklyn and Derek's big day. Can they make it down the aisle before more bodies start stacking up? Bilbliophile #12 ( )

I used to love this series, but at this point it's more a nostalgic fondness. I love reading about books, book binding, and book restoration, and the characters are all just ... awesome. Quirky, kind, strong, and the friendships and family dynamics are amazing. There was a stupid nemesis character for awhile at the beginning, but Carlisle dumped her, an action with did nothing but improve the story lines.

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. ( )

Funniest wedding ever, I was laughing so hard when Thuggy and Leon attacked the women as they helped London get dressed for the wedding. Only to be topped by the scene following when Rod held a knife to London's throat, and nobody freaked out they knew London would figure her way out of danger while solving the murder case. ( )

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. ( )
