I really like this series, and this book is no exception。 This one is set in London with Gemma and friends visiting for Pippa's wedding。 Pippa is one of my favorite side characters and I love the connection between her and Mycroft Holmes。 The mystery was intriguing with many interesting red herrings and forays into Pippa's top secret government job。 All in all, a really fun read!Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

To help offer some closure on that part of her life, Gemma decides she is going to find his murderer, which is easier said than done。This is a great addition to the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop mystery series。 I love Gemma’s attention to detail。 #TheIncidentoftheBookintheNighttime #NetGalley #VickiDelany #CrookedLaneBooks 。。。more
Lisa~Ilovemypug~ Currier,
#TheIncidentoftheBookintheNighttime #NetGalley grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept me reading until that last page。Gemma and her family are in London for her sister's wedding, and even a hop across the pond can't stop her from getting involved in a murder investigation。 There were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing and this book proved to be a winner from the beginning。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book。 #TheIncidentoftheBookintheNighttime #NetGalley grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept me reading until that last page。Gemma and her family are in London for her sister's wedding, and even a hop across the pond can't stop her from getting involved in a murder investigation。 There were so many twists and turns that kept me guessing and this book proved to be a winner from the beginning。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book。 。。。more
Danielle,
I really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mysteries, but this is not one of Vicki Delany's best。 The plot seemed to have a hard time connecting and seemed to drag on into nothingness until the last 50 pages or so。 The killer, when revealed, seems to have very little motivation for the actual killing and the solving of the crime relies on tenuous connections。 All in all, I prefer the books in the series set in Gemma's hometown of West London much more than those set in her original home of Lond I really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mysteries, but this is not one of Vicki Delany's best。 The plot seemed to have a hard time connecting and seemed to drag on into nothingness until the last 50 pages or so。 The killer, when revealed, seems to have very little motivation for the actual killing and the solving of the crime relies on tenuous connections。 All in all, I prefer the books in the series set in Gemma's hometown of West London much more than those set in her original home of London, but I will still plan to add this to my collection。On a positive note, the group of Gemma's West London friends were at their best and most hilarious, and I really enjoyed reading about their loyalty and love for one another。 Overall, I enjoyed being back in Gemma's crime-solving world, but hope to see the next book back in West London where Gemma is more in her element。Thank you to NetGalley for providing this copy! 。。。more
