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, Brooklyns 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 hes 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 Josephs newspaper: a citywide contest based on The Prince and The Pauperthey 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 Brooklyns 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.

I‘m really excited for The Paper Caper and eager to get Woman of Light off my shelf — either by reading or DNF‘ing! #bookspin

rockpools Good luck! A very important question: Is it you that I‘m friends with on DuoLingo? (I know it was a Litsy Rachel - just can‘t remember their Litsy name!) If it is you, I‘d love to know how come you‘re learning Scottish Gaelic. (If not, apologies for weird random questions!) 9mo
mrsmarch @rockpools LoL, that‘s meeeee! As for how come — I was bored with burnishing my Italian and keeping my French fresh, so I wanted a non Romance language. I figured the native language of my ancestors was a good place to start. 9mo
rockpools Honestly, I‘m a disaster at answering people (& social media generally) these days. Sorry! But so pleased I‘ve matched the mystery Duo person to a real Rachel 😊. That is so cool. I just started back again with Duo (as you may have gathered) and started Gaelic for the first time (before I took a peek to see what you were learning). Love it!My niece (age 4) has just started Gaelic-speaking nursery, so she‘s teaching me. Need all the help I can get! 9mo
mrsmarch @rockpools I‘m sure my pronunciation is a nightmare, but the chances of me ever being in a place where I need spoken Gaelic are infinitely small. Writing/reading it suffice for me. I‘m actually keenly surprised how much I feel it shares with *French*. The Auld Alliance with France makes so much sense. Word order and some vocab overlap. Eaglais/église anyone? (edited) 9mo

Mehso-so

I may be done with this series. Ever since Derek and Brooklyn got together, it‘s been all about Brooklyn gushing, “Oh, Derek! You‘re so handsome, strong, and wonderful!” It‘s getting old. There‘s also a new narrator for the series, and while she‘s not awful, she makes Brooklyn sound more like a child than the previous narrator did. And, Lord, is she whiny! While also unironically calling another character whiny.

BethM This is a series that I want to love and every time I try to read or listen I‘m just feel meh. (edited) 2y
KathyWheeler @BethM I liked it when I first started listening to it — especially for a light read — but now I feel the same way. 2y

I always enjoy these wonderful book oriented mysteries and this was no exception! It was nice to catch up with Brooklyn and Derek and meet a few new characters. I very much enjoyed how far the relationship between Brooklyn and Inspector Lee has come. It took a while to get to the murder but the mystery of who was the killer was well done.
