about book: (summary from Goodreads)
San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright is back with an intriguing new mystery in the New York Times bestselling Bibliophile Mystery series.
Joseph Cabot is a very popular wealthy San Franciscan who owns the main newspaper in town, as well as radio stations and TV. Years ago, Brooklyn’s husband Derek and his security team rescued Joseph from an assassination attempt and now the man and his wife are friendly with Derek and Brooklyn. The friendship is helped along by the fact that Joseph is a big book lover and contributes lavishly to the Covington Library. His favorite author is Mark Twain (another newspaperman) and he’s underwritten the first annual Mark Twain Festival at the Covington.
As part of the festival activities, Brooklyn will spend a few hours every day at the Library, giving demonstrations of her work at re-binding an old copy of The Prince and the Pauper. There will be events all week, all around town, celebrating the time Twain spent in the city. But the biggest event is being run by Joseph’s newspaper: a citywide contest based on The Prince and The Pauper—they want to find someone who looks like Joseph! The two men will trade places for a week as part of a huge publicity campaign to raise money for the Covington Library. But the fun turns frantic when a murder occurs right before Brooklyn’s eyes! Now Brooklyn and Derek will have to chase clues all over their beloved city to solve the murder before another death becomes front-page news.
my thoughts:
What a fun and entertaining story! I just loved The Paper Caper by Kate Carlisle. It's the sixteenth book in her best-selling series, Bibliophile Mystery. And it is fantastic!
It's the first annual Mark Twain Festival and everyone is excited! Brooklyn and her husband, Derek, will be participating at the event. There are going to be children's actives, demonstrations of re-binding books, and a look-a-like contest. Yep, the sponsor of the Mark Twain Festival, Joseph Cabot, wants to hold a contest to find his look-a-like. Well, he does and the two men agreed to switch places for the remainder of the festival. Except, murder happens and well, it looks like maybe the intended target is still in danger. Yikes! Brooklyn and Derek soon have their hands full trying to find whodunit. Whoa!
Carlisle has written a terrific mystery tale chock full of suspense and twists and turns. I just love the charm of the cozy mystery and found myself snuggling up with my copy on a rainy night. The Paper Caper was such a treat to read!
I would happily recommend this book to fans of the series and to anyone looking for their next great read - check it out!
