This is one of the books in the Bibliophile Mystery series. The story is about a bookbinder who seems to get involved in many murders. In this case, she is asked to repair the binding on a copy of Beauty and the Beast which she once owned. She had given the book to a couple as a gift and the book was later stolen. When she goes to speak to the bookseller who sold the book she comes upon his dead body. At the crime scene there is a book binders tool and her tire has been slashed with another bookbinder tool, which has the initials of a friend of hers who died three years before.
As she and her boyfriend set off to find out why someone is trying to frame a deadman, they find the man is not dead after all but hiding for his life.
The book was okay, but I found the romantic aspects of the book and the behaviour of the main character always mooning over her handsome beau and other men distracted from the story. The fact that there were several obsessive criminals involved in the story made it all a bit much to take. I don't think I'll bother with any other books in this series.
