Book restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright is happy to be attending the world-renowned Edinburgh Book Fair. But then her ex, Kyle McVee, shows up with a bombshell. He has an original copy of a scandalous text that could change history--and humiliate the beloved British monarchy. Trying to get Kyle's story out of her mind, Brooklyn takes a nighttime tour of the city. Unfortunately, the first landmark contains a real dead body--Kyle's. The police are convinced Brooklyn's the culprit, but with an entire convention of suspects, Brooklyn's conducting her own investigation. Before she can crack the case, she'll have to find out if the motive for murder was a 200-year-old secret--or something much more personal...

Recommended submitted by sara on July 22, 2011, 7:50pm I enjoied this books so much that I'm going to read the other books in the series. A perfect summer read.

One of my favorites in the series submitted by ValerieL on June 27, 2018, 8:20pm This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series and this one is one of my favorites in the series.

If Books Could Kill is the 2nd book in the Bibliophile Mystery series and it's just as excellent as the first one! This time, Brooklyn & Derek have travelled to Edinburgh for a big book festival. Having a different setting was fun and shook things up a little.

I did know who the villain was, almost from the start, but I didn't see the twist that came with it, so that still kept it fresh and exciting! The setting descriptions were wonderful. Scotland's at the top of the list of places I want to visit, so I was soaking in all the descriptions with glee. We learn a little more about our main characters and Brooklyn's family in this book which is great as well.

All in all, an excellent 2nd installment in the series.
