Synopsis

Brooklyn's chance to restore a rare first edition of Beauty and the Beast seems a fairytale come true - until she realizes the book last belonged to an old friend. Three years ago, Max Adams fell in love with Emily and gave her the copy of Beauty and the Beast. Soon afterward, he died in a car crash, and Brooklyn has always suspected his ex-girlfriend and her jealous beau. Now she decides to find out who sold the book and return it to its rightful owner - Emily. She believes a book dealer can assist her, but when she arrives at his shop, she finds him murdered. Is it possible the same couple who may have killed Joe is now after his edition of Beauty and the Beast?

3.5 Stars Good addition to the series. Brooklyn's ways are growing on me more. The community her family is in is still a little different for me but it's nice to read about different lifestyles.
