Bookclubbed to Death

⭐⭐⭐.5 – Cute cover on this book.

“Bookclubbed to Death” is the eighth (and finale?) book in the “Mystery Bookshop series by V.M. Burns. It was also my first foray into this series. Being that haven't read any of the other books in this series i will say this held up excellently as a standalone. I loved the setting of a mystery bookshop in North Harbor, Michigan. The plot was engaging (mostly...more on this in a bit). It had plenty of twists and red herrings that kept me guessing. The characters themselves were all very pleasant and likable. All good things.

However, there was one aspect of the book that just didn't work for me. The story within the story....Sam's book she is writing. First, how is she still writing a book that is set to release within days??
