Bestseller Carlisle’s delightful 14th Bibliophile mystery (after 2019’s The Book Supremacy) takes San Francisco book restorer Brooklyn Wainwright and her hubby, former MI5 agent Derek Stone, to the town of Dharma in Sonoma County, where Brooklyn’s parents operate a winery. Her mom, Becky, is in charge of Dharma’s first book festival, which will include a musical staging of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women and booths devoted to local wineries. Brooklyn and Derek offer to protect Becky after obnoxious Jacob Banyan makes numerous threats in an attempt to force Becky to allot him a booth to promote his tacky box wine. When a festival committee member is murdered, Becky suspects Banyan, but others soon emerge as possible culprits. A diverting subplot involves a difficult actor in the Little Women production, and fascinating booklore enhances the whodunit plot. This long-running cozy series shows no signs of losing steam. Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

Narrator Susie Berneis chronicles the fourteenth mystery in the Bibliophile Mysteries series, featuring Brooklyn, a rare book expert and amateur sleuth. Brooklyn, as depicted by Berneis, is self-assured, smart, and devoted to her family. She has come to a seemingly idyllic town in Sonoma County's wine country to help her mother organize a book fair. Since this is a murder mystery, there are corpses, dark deeds, and a rare book that plays a deadly part. In her clear, soft voice, Berneis creates perfect portrayals of the aging San Francisco hippies turned winemakers. Portrayals of the English characters, namely, Brooklyn's heartthrob of a husband and his parents, prove to be more of a challenge. Nonetheless, this listening experience is a pleasant diversion.
