Shelley8059 | Jan 25, 2024 |   Perfect cozy with up-to-date content and a good description of place, including a bookstore cat with a malevolent streak. There’s a wee frisson of romance but Delaney keeps the focus firmly on the mystery. The characters are all likeable and I mean to read more of this series, despite it being in the cozy category(which I normally find too twee) because Gemma Doyle, the main character, also has a dislike of twee. She does the usual trope of investigating things the police should be looking into, but in this case her interventions weren’t too unbelievable. Loved it and smiled throughout. (  ) Dabble58 | Nov 11, 2023 |  ) harishwriter | Oct 12, 2023 | ) VivienneR | Sep 20, 2023 | First in a new (to me, at least) series starring Gemma Doyle, “a transplanted Englishwoman [who] has returned to … Cape Cod to manage her great uncle Arthur’s Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium.” This has all the elements of a successful cozy mystery series: an amateur sleuth who is frequently smarter than the police and incredibly nosy, a cute pet (in this case the black cat named Moriarty), a job in a retail shop that brings her into contact with many public persons, a best friend who runs a complimentary business, and a supporting cast of “helpers.” I loved all the book references, and thought the basic premise was sufficiently plausible to keep me interested and engaged. I’m likely to continue this series. Kelly Clare does a good job of voicing the audiobook. She sets a good pace and does a good job of giving Gemma a recognizable British accent.

Appartiene alle Serie
Gemma Doyle, a transplanted Englishwoman, has returned to the quaint town of West London on Cape Cod to manage her Great Uncle Arthur's Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium. The shop-located at 222 Baker Street-specializes in the Holmes canon and pastiche and is also the home of Moriarty the cat. When Gemma finds a rare and potentially valuable magazine containing the first Sherlock Holmes story hidden in the bookshop, she and her friend Jayne (who runs the adjoining Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room) set off to find the owner, only to stumble upon a dead body. The highly perceptive Gemma is the police's first suspect, so she puts her consummate powers of deduction to work to clear her name, investigating a handsome rare-books expert, the dead woman's suspiciously unmoved son, and a whole family of greedy characters desperate to cash in on their inheritance. But when Gemma and Jayne accidentally place themselves at a second murder scene, it's a race to uncover the truth before the detectives lock them up for good.

**mild spoiler** not about the mystery
The love interest is someone who left her because he could not handle the way her mind worked. Something integral to her as a person. And he not only left her, he did it painfully and in a way that left her blaming herself. I do not care what happens going forward, the guy is a douche. (
