REVIEW: A Perfect Bind

 A Perfect Bind
Author: Dorothy St James


Librarian Tru Beckett is still trying to keep a secret. After her library became all digital, Tru stashed a collection of physical books and documents in the library's basement. She checks the books out to patrons who promise not to breathe a word about the secret book room....but it's really tough to keep it secret when she keeps getting sucked into amateur sleuthing!

A Perfect Bind is the second book in the Beloved Bookroom mystery series This time Tru is investigating vandalism in the secret bookroom and a dead body left behind the library. Who committed the latest murder in Cypress, SC and why?? And, is the bookroom vandal a legendary poltergeist, or a local resident causing trouble? Tru definitely has her hands full!

I enjoy this series. The characters are enjoyable, the premise is entertaining and there is plenty of investigation, suspects and unexpected twists. Plus, Dewey the cat!

I listened to the audio book version of this story. The audio is just short of 9.5 hours long, so a nice listening length. The narrator is Allyson Ryan. She has a pleasant voice, reads at a nice, even pace, and does a good job of voice acting. I've listened to several cozy mysteries she has narrated and enjoy her performance each time.

This is definitely a cozy series I will continue reading. It's a nice mix of humor, sleuthing and light-hearted library drama.

I am so thankful for my local library's offerings on Hoopla! I get to enjoy so many audio books! Love, love, love my local library!
