Review #1

Read It and Weep audiobook free

I don’t usually enjoy theater based mysteries but Read It and Weep is an exception and is exceptional! Wow. So much is going on but I never felt lost in all the action. I did want to shake Sully. When Violet brings in a well known actors, things get interesting and the unexpected happens. Didn’t see that coming! Lindsay’s attachment to the new actor isn’t helping rebuild her relationship with Sully but that independent librarian refused to let anyone dictate her friends. The involvement of the whole group in the play makes it more fun for readers and opens the door for even more confusion when death stalks the stage. I love that the author slowly reveals more about a core character in each book.

Read It and Weep series Library Lover’s Mysteries

When her friend Violet La Rue decides to stage “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” librarian Lindsey Norris has no intentions of auditioning but happily agrees to work backstage. She’s hoping being busy will help her get over her breakup with Sully but soon finds that impossible since Sully is also working backstage. However, actor Robbie Vine is willing to try and help her get over Sully. Before she can begin sort out her feelings for each of them, tragedy strikes and Lindsey discovers there is danger backstage and she may be the next victim.

“Read It and Weep” is the fourth book in Jenn MacKinlay’s Library Lovers cozy mystery series – a series that I like more and more with each book. Much of the action in the book takes place not at the library but at the theater where the group is putting on the play. This is a nice change of pace and offers some interesting behind the scenes glimpses of what it is like to put on a play. Four books into the series the characters are well-developed and feel like old friends – even Ms. Cole who added an unexpected bit of humor to the book. The mystery itself is well plotted (if a bit over-the-top) with the lot of twists and turns. Some of these twists are easy to figure out; others may seem a little unfair but did ultimately remind me of an Agatha Christie mystery. The one thing I didn’t like about this book is the Sully/Lindsey/Robbie triangle which reminds me a bit too much of the romantic complications in McKinlay’s Cupcake Bakery cozy mystery series – at times I found that the romance aspects were taking over the mystery aspects. Hopefully this will get settled in the next book(s) in the series.

Audiobook Read It and Weep by Jenn McKinlay

This is one of my all time favorite series. I’m a librarian and a mystery buff, so it’s only natural that I would love a cozy mystery series with a librarian as the sleuth.

The last half of 2013 was a crazy time for me. My position at school was finally made full time. I added two new after school book clubs, became more active in the VFW Post (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and added way too many things to my to do list. As a result, my leisure reading time was drastically reduced. I had promised myself that if I made it to Christmas Break, I was going to spend the break on the couch with my nose stuck in books I WANTED to read. (A great deal of my recent reading has been for work – my students think I’ve read every book in our library. And I do my best to foster that misconception 🙂 )

As a gift to myself, I put McKinlay’s Due or Die and Read It And Weep at the top of the reading stack. And what a wonderful gift it was. Read It And Weep is book four in the series. The series just gets better with each book.

Review #4

Audio Read It and Weep narrated by Allyson Ryan

Book No. 4 in the “Library Lover’s Mystery” series has Lindsay Norris, town librarian, participating in the community theater’s production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night ‘s Dream.” Everyone in town is trying out for a part, including the Lemon (aka Ms. Cole, Lindsay’s sour, disapproving employee). Lindsay is content with her backstage role in the costume department.

A handsome, famous actor, Robby Vine, is brought in to play one of the lead roles. Coincidentally he has a connection to assorted Briar Creek residents, and he may have the hots for Lindsay as well.

The complicated relationship between Lindsay and the handsome boat captain, Sully, is still stuck in neutral. At the end of book three, Sully dumps her and they spend most of this book dancing around their attraction to each other, and the sparks between Lindsay and Robby. The ending was a surprise to me – but then I don’t read mysteries to figure out whodunit; I read more for the relationships between the characters and I like to be carried along in the story and find out when the characters find out.

I love this series. It should be on the Hallmark Channel. Great characters and a terrific plot. I know the story of the community play has been done elsewhere but this one has twists and turns the reader never expects. And a fabulous ending. Where does Lindsey’s life go from here?

Retired Broadway actress Violet La Rue is putting on a play at Briar Creek Community Theater and all her friends from the library are helping out in some way. Violet’s friend, the famous actor Robbie Vine, is set to play Puck in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” when several attempts on his life are made. Robbie’s wife, his girlfriend, Violet’s ex-boyfriend, and a sleazy reporter all come under suspicion. Library director Lindsey Norris does her best to find the killer.

What I liked:
The author is an accomplished writer and the book is well written. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the town and the interactions between the characters.

What I didn’t like:
The perpetrator of the crime is glaringly obvious. I figured out the “Who did it?” at the 21% mark on my Kindle. That’s before the crime actually happens. It’s not that the author drops a lot of hints, but the way the character is introduced is rather conspicuous. There is no reason to devote this much space and detail to someone who isn’t a key character of the plot. Plus, pretty much the first thing that comes out of his/her mouth gives away the motive for the murder.
There’s also the plot twist at the end. Some other reviews stated that they really liked it, but I found it to be unbelievable. Cozy mysteries aren’t exactly known for being very realistic, but in this case I was completely unable to suspend disbelief. It’s somewhat understandable if one character acts rashly and does risky things. But in this story several people, including a law enforcement official, conspire to act in a way that’s the opposite of common sense and leaves them open to all kinds of legal action. (Sorry about being vague, but I’m doing my best to avoid spoilers.)

What I hated:
Two words: Love Triangle.

Conclusion:
I’ve read several books by Jenn McKinlay and I’ve enjoyed most of them, but this one isn’t up to her usual standard. I liked the previous entries in the series, and I’d probably read the next book if it wasn’t for the love triangle. They’re a pet peeve of mine and reading about them annoys me. That’s just a personal preference though. If it doesn’t bother you and you liked the earlier books, then I’d still recommend reading this book and hope for improvements in the next installment.
