Bound for Murder by Victoria Gilbert
4.0
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Bound for Murder by Victoria Gilbert is a tale of forgotten deeds and how that affects the present.
Amy is our main character, sleuth, and point of view, all wrapped up in researching librarian, fiancee, and friend to many. This time Amy didn't find a body, but it seems she may have connected with a spirit or just her mind knew what to look for. Amy is quite a busy person, but she finds time for sleuthing.
Things that I like about Amy is that she gives her friends the benefit of the doubt even when she feels that they are holding something back. She tries hard to keep her word, and she loves cats. I didn't find anything about Amy to dislike.
Our mysteries were a cold case or two, and those have moved into the current day with people being killed to silence them. The mystery was well-plotted, with clues set up to find the culprit. But I got stuck on a red herring and didn't see the real villain until the unmasking. I love it when that happens, as I am surprised like everyone else.
Bound for Murder by Victoria Gilbert is an excellent story with a couple of murders that keep you guessing. Therefore I am giving it a rating of four stars. I recommend this mystery to all the cozy readers out there.
