Description
One sunny morning Los Angeles bookseller and aspiring mystery author Adrien English opens his front door to murder. His old high school buddy (and employee) has been found stabbed to death in a back alley following a loud and very public argument with Adrien the previous evening. Naturally the cops want to ask Adrien a few questions; they are none too impressed with his answers, and when a few hours later someone breaks into Adrien's shop and ransacks it, the law is inclined to think Adrien is trying to divert suspicion from himself. Adrien knows better. Adrien knows he is next on the killer's list.

I did enjoy this book even though i kind of had mixed feelings around the middle of the book. I really liked Adrien and enjoyed his personality a lot. I basically disliked all of the side characters. It felt like Adrien had no one on his side. I figured out the reason for the murder pretty fast, but I didn't figure out who it was until a few pages before the book told me, so that was not bad. I did feel that it was a bit slow in the middle, but I honestly couldn't figure out why since the book was still moving at a good pace. In the end, it was a good mystery and an exciting start to a series.
