A Book Signing To Die ForA Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a cozy mystery book which is fast paced and has plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. Beck O’Rourke and her Grammy, Miss Alice own a bookstore and coffee shop, Beach Reads in Manatee Beach, Florida. The place acts as a gathering place for both locals and tourists as well as being home to Beck, her Grammy and Lizzie, Beck’s younger sister. Beck is excited about an upcoming event, to host bestselling cozy mystery writer Marcia Graybill for a book signing at Beach Reads. When a member of the audience turns up dead, Beck decides to pursue her lifelong dream and becomes an amateur sleuth to discover who the murderer is. However the town’s new police detective, Devon Mathis is not too happy when she starts investigating suspects, and to complicate things further Beck has a history with the handsome detective.
I loved the characters, they were likeable and realistic and I liked how the relationship between Beck and Devon developed. The authors descriptions of the setting of Beach Reads really bought the place to life and I could picture the surroundings clearly. The murder mystery storyline had me gripped from the start and I enjoyed following Beck on her investigations to find the killer. This is an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading other books by this author, who is new to me.
