A Chapter on Murder The Bookstore Mystery Series

As a fan of murder mysteries, I expected a fun read from this. But the book lost me in the span of a few pages. The main character is annoying, the "murder mystery" is really lame and fairly predictabe and interspersed with episodes from the protagonist's life that have nothing to do with the case. I'm not against plots that move away from the main mystery to deepen the characters and their relationships, but in this book it just seemed unnecessary. I was bored most of the time, and overall very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
