My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Book Signing to Die For is a cosy mystery book by Judy Moore. If you’re not sure what a cosy mystery is, you’re in luck because protagonist Becca tells us in chapter five as “kind of a Hallmark version of a mystery – no swearing, no extreme violence, and definitely G-rated”. A Book Signing to Die For definitely fits the bill, centring around a bookshop/café in a quaint seaside location with a book loving protagonist and a handsome detective. If you’re after something comfortably engaging, this is the book for you!
I particularly liked the cast of characters (human and animal!). At the outset, some seem a little two-dimensional and stereotypical (the sister who hates books and is obsessed with boys, for example) but over the course of the story they are fleshed out and developed. Miss Alice is one of my favourites, with her stern and driven attitude towards business and the soft side that we glimpse every now and then.
The setting, and the book signing event that gets the story going, will appeal to fans of mystery books, so it’s definitely a likeable book! And a holiday to Florida, even if only on the pages of a book, is a welcome escape for anyone stuck somewhere cold, rainy and far from the sea.
For me, this is a four-star book. A great comfort read, and an intriguing mystery!

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is an entertaining beach read filled with murder, mugging, family drama and secrets. It is my first read by this writer and she will be one of my go to writers when I feel like something cozy but with a slight edge!
The story takes place in a small Florida town of Manatee Beach and we have O’Rourke women who will need to take on a murder that happens in their Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop during a book signing. Beck is the older sister who co-owns the place with her grandmother Miss Alice, younger sister Lizzie is the third female of the family that rounds up the trio, oh and let’s not forget the family’s Great Dane, Coquina!
When the book signing guest who knew the writer from years earlier turns up murdered, Beck decides to find out who killed her. You think you are just going along on the ride and can figure it out yourself but I tell you, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Throw in the hot detective, someone who Beck went to school with and who is partially responsible for her giving up her dreams of becoming a detective and you have a story that you do not mind staying up late in the evening!
I am not sure if this is an opening to a new series but I hope that Beck will have more opportunities to flex her detective muscle AND who knows what will become of her relationship with the hot detective!

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore a five-star Beach Read. This is a charming cozy mystery set in the small town of Mantee Beach and this is all about how there was a book signing with a popular cozy mystery author Marcia Graybill, with book shop co-owner Beck and the other co-owner her Grandma Alice and all seems to be going well, this pairing is just so nicely done, I don’t know if I could live and work with my Grandma, but I think as Lizzie Beck’s sister just adds to the whole story. Anyhoo, after the signing one of the people who attended turns up dead, que Beck finding her dreams coming true, as a closet detective she gets to put her mind to it. Que red herrings and twists galore and you have a great story, honestly it will keep you hooked, and you will be kept guessing as to who is the killer!!! This was a great story and I will be keeping an eye out for Judy Moore.

I have yet to read a Judy Moore mystery novel that I didn’t love and A Book Signing to Die For: Beach Reads, is no exception to the rule. This book has all the things that I want when I sit down with a good hearty mystery novel. I loved that this was something I could lay out in the sun and soak up and feel as if I was right there in Florida at Beach Reads enjoying my very own novel.

We follow Beck who owns Beach Reads in a quaint Florida town with her grandmother. This is the ideal place to find the perfect read and enjoy a snack or drink with like minded people. Beck is excited to host a book signing for a very famous cozy mystery author. What she doesn’t see coming will change everything for her. Will things get better or will her life take a spiral downwards. I loved this novel and how it weaved the mystery so well that most of the time when I thought I had it figured all out I would still be pleasantly surprised that things did not turn out the way I had anticipated. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Judy Moore!

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.

5 Stars

This is my 4th book by this author. It has become clear to me that she is a definite go to for my mystery cravings. I’ve loved all of them so far and I want to say that this one is a definite favorite.

I loved everything about this story, I think I have to point out though first that one of my favorites in Somebody in the Neighborhood played a really awesome part in this one which made me really happy!! He remains a favorite of mine. I loved the community and all of the characters. A few were a little sketchy but they were supposed to be to make this book a success. I want to walk into Beach Reads, grab a book, find a table and just spend a whole day reading and hoping Coquina will walk by a few times 🙂

Just like any of the other books I’ve read by Judy Moore, I think I have it all figured out about 90 times while reading, then talking myself out of it 90 times, never getting a firm grasp on the answer till the end. I Loved Loved Loved Beck. I loved that even though something happened in her past that led her on the course she was on that she didn’t let that stop her from following her instincts. She believed, therefore she never gave up! I truly truly hope there is more to come for all of these people. I could read a whole series with all of them and still want more! There was no cliffhanger but it ended with definite room for more, and I just can’t get enough of Scratchoff running around on his beach bike!

I truly hope Beck gets to explore more of what she always wanted to be and I think her doing that would make for some awesome storylines between her and Devon!

Beck O’Roarke owns a beachside bookshop, Beach Reads, with her feisty, yet lovable, Grandmother. Beck has always loved books, mysteries in particular, and when a murder takes place on her doorstep she can’t help but get involved. As she gets started in her investigation, Beck not only digs up clues but also starts to piece together answers. It doesn’t hurt that this also allows her to hopefully impress the towns new, very handsome, detective. But as she gets closer to the answers she also gets closer to danger, and when it comes down to it things aren’t as they seem at all.

A Book Signing to Die For is an easy to read cosy mystery. The plot is well thought out and I enjoyed that there were a few surprises along the way. The author has created a wonderful set of characters which really bring the story to life. If you are looking for a cosy book to get stuck into I would definitely recommend this.

A Book Signing to Die For: Beach Reads is a fabulous cosy mystery by Judy Moore. I have read many of Ms. Moore’s books now- so I know what I’m in for with one of her stories. I really enjoy a great mystery, and this definitely fits that bill and is one of my favourite reads of hers.
Jumping into the story, there’s interesting and somewhat quirky characters, murder, intriguing mystery, danger, suspense, drama, discovery, and some surprising developments. And as usual with one of Judy Moore’s books I spent much of the time trying to predict the outcome before anything was revealed. But Ms. Moore once again twisted and turned the plot and kept me guessing the whole way through.
‘A Book Signing to Die For’ is an incredibly detailed, descriptive, and really well-woven. Ms. Moore had no problem building the suspense and tension- and had me anticipating what was yet to come.
I loved the bookstore setting, it really added to the atmosphere of the whole story. I’m pretty sure we met some of these characters in one of Ms. Moore’s previous books- ‘Somebody in the Neighborhood’.
I wonder what Judy Moore has planned for us next?

Thank you, Judy Moore!

When your book store becomes the hub for murder will Becky be able to solve the crime without getting to deep.

Becky and her grandmother, Miss Alice own a quiet book store near the beach front every so often they host a book reading/signings from the most popular author this month, but when they become entangled with a murder they will have to put all there deductive skills to use to find out whodunit.

I enjoyed this story greatly the characters where warm and welcoming and had you engrossed in the story from the first chapter. I especially love Miss Alice, Becky and Lizzy’s grandmother she was a typical sassy, independent woman who knows her mind. With the twists and turns in this book it will have you reading long into the night to work with them to try and solve the crime.

Although I had worked out who the murderer was the story guided you brilliantly to the conclusion with out making it too obvious which is always great in a story, making the read work for the answer.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend to anyone looking for a escape. I will be looking at reading more by this author in the future.

Bookworm Beck O’Rourke and her grandmother live a picturesque life above a bookstore/coffee shop in Manatee Beach, Florida. Lizzie, Beck’s younger lifeguard sister, lives with the two.
As Beck is set to host a book signing with one of the finest mystery book writers, an audience member is murdered. Beck is thrown in the forefront to pursue her detective chops to the test as she’s on a trail to catch that murderer. As she’s got her suspects lined up, the murderer is none too pleased about Beck’s involvement but neither is an old flame of Beck’s, a new police detective.
This is a book with wonderful characters, great scenic detail for great world building, a pinch of romance with Beck and her ex plus the suspense of the mystery.

A Book Signing to Die For by Judy Moore is a cozy mystery set in a small beachside town in Florida. Beck, her Grandmother, and younger sister all live over the family bookstore. When a murder occurs close to the store after a book signing, Beck jumps in to try to solve the mystery. This is a very fast and enjoyable read. I really enjoy Beck because she is quick, witty, and kind, but has some insecurities from her younger days. She loves herself a good mystery and is pulled into the recent murder of a customer. Can she use what she has learned from her love of books to solve the murder?
The characters are fun and work well together to drive the story along. What a beautiful, idyllic setting to have for a murder mystery. I have read other books by this author but this is one of my favorites so far. I look forward to reading more in the future.

I loved reading the book A Book Signing To Die For: Beach Reads by Judy Moore. It is a cozy mystery that hooked me in from the beginning and I found myself not wanted to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved the character of Beck O’Rourke. She and her grandmother own a bookstore. Beck has always wanted to be a detective so when a member of the audience at a book signing event ends up murdered, she becomes determined to investigate. Beck soon finds herself with a bunch of suspects. However, someone doesn’t want Beck to find out the truth. Will Beck solve the case before the murderer can stop her interference? There is a new police detective in town. He is both handsome and someone with whom Beck has had a history. What does the future hold for Beck? Read this book to find out.

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore – Review by Elizabeth Clark

/0 Comments/in /by

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a book full of mystery, suspense and interesting characters. This book is well written and the amount of detail will make you think you are actually inside the book.

Somebody in the Neighborhood is about a young woman Dawn who moves to Florida into her recently deceased Aunt’s house. Dawn’s Aunt Amy is the 2nd murder victim in the small Florida community. With the killer still unknown Dawn finds suspicious characters all around her. While reading this book I thought I knew who the killer was until the next chapter and I would think it was someone else. This author did a fantastic job writing this book. I liked her characters and found myself turning pages as fast as possible so I could figure out who the killer was.

This book is more than just a murder mystery it is also a story about a young woman growing into her own. Watching Dawn grow throughout the book was beautiful and inspiring. Dawn becomes an independent, strong woman ready to take on the world. I enjoyed reading this book and reading Dawn’s story.

And you will never guess who the killer is..

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a murder mystery. Dawn Andersen decides to move from her home in Ohio to Florida to start anew in the home of her recently murdered aunt. Is her aunt’s murder a random murder or someone who was someone closer to her? This is a good read that kept me reading from beginning to end. I enjoyed the characters and the story.

Somebody in the Neighborhood is a murder mystery. I don’t usually read these types of books but I enjoyed this one. Dawn’s Aunt Amy gets murdered and needing a change, she decides to move down to Florida into her aunt’s home. It might not have been the smartest decision seeing as Dawn fits the description of the victims, pretty and blonde. Dawn loves the sun and the beach is nearby but she has to deal with her strange new environment. Her next door neighbour keeps watching her, some of the others seem too interested in her aunt and she has a creepy mailman who is way too friendly for her tastes. After doing a little investigating on her own, Dawn realizes that she’s in trouble, the killer is someone in the neighborhood.

The thing I liked best about this book was that the author kept me guessing until the grand reveal. The story was well written with enough twists to keep you interested. Suspense, drama and quirky characters made this a wonderful read.

There is a lot to say about Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore, that follows the story of Dawn’s life after suffering the loss of her aunt, Amy. Dawn, much like her aunt, is an eccentric, “born to late”, wild card. Seeking independence from a her seemingly suffocating parents, Dawn moves to florida.

This book is honestly ranked in my top 10 reads, Judy doesn’t miss a single detail! Her story unfolds beautifully from beginning to end, and is a definite must read! A five star rating for a 5 star book!

Ok this author has done it again! I think I know the answer and I’m wrong. This book had me hooked. Dawn feels a connection to her aunts house in Florida so she makes the decision to move there after she’s murdered. Things start to happen and she come to the conclusion that the suspect they have in custody isn’t the right person. I couldn’t put this down as I just had to know and boy was I wrong on my first guess.
Great book!

I give Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore, 4 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought Dawn was a great main character and I understood her thoughts and needs perfectly. She needed to get away and start over, and her aunt’s house was the perfect place. The neighborhood had the type of people you would expect in a small town type atmosphere. While you don’t always agree with them, they do really exist. I liked how each person was different too, not just cookie cutter placements.

The whole book is shrouded in suspense as you try to figure out who is killing and why. There are things happening throughout the book to keep you involved too. The list of suspects is quite long, and so many people could be the suspect. I was pleasantly surprised by the actual killer, it wasn’t one of my top suspects.

This is a great whodunit suspense set in a small Florida cul-de-sac that offers an interesting story and unique characters. If this is your type of book, I highly recommend that you pick this book up.
