My interest in this book started with the cover and the title. From there it progressed nicely with a clever first book in a new series. I think this series has excellent potential and can't wait to read more.

Enjoyed this book a lot. Will definitely be reading the rest of this fun cozy mystery series. Very interesting and likable characters.. Thank you!

A fun cozy mystery! The central characters stumbles upon her dead uncle when visiting him after a series of troubles. Given she is the sole heir of his will, suspicion is immediately cast upon her and she must clear her name. I enjoyed The creative backstory of the main character and the “who dunnit” caught me by surprise. I’d enjoy more in this series.

i really enjoyed this book. The writing is taut and fast paced. The story is interesting and the mysteries even more so. I really liked the characters and didn't like the villains of the piece. I felt angry when one of the bad guys tried to con Jenna out of her inheritance, and glad when he got his comeuppance. I was surprised by the reveal of the murderer and I think the treasure ending is great. Definitely worth the read, I hope there's more coming. #ForWhomtheBookTolls #NetGalley

A new series that promises big things. After an unfortunate incident in her home town Jenna Quinn is invited by her uncle Paul to move and live with him while working in his bookstore. Although she hasn’t seen him In years, she accepts and arrives in the middle of the night. Looking for him the next morning Jenna finds him dead in the bookstore, and as his surprised sole beneficiary the police are looking at her as the prime suspect.
A good mystery, good writing, with a cast of interesting characters, I can easily see this series continuing to delight.

As soon as I saw the cover and title of this book, my heart raced a little bit. The vivid colors of the cover and the cute title were 2 of the 3 things I looked for in a cozy mystery. The third thing? A likable protagonist, and Jenna Quinn fits the bill! Returning to Hokes Folly to help her uncle is just the respite Jenna needs, and she's looking forward to reuniting with him as well.
When Jenna finds her uncle, crumpled at the bottom of the stairs, she has no idea she would become the prime suspect.
With the help of her neighbor, Rita, Jenna begins to look for clues to her uncle's death, knowing she won't stop until she finds the answers.

As a first in a new series, For Whom the Book Tolls by Laura Gail Black is a great start to what I hope will be a long running series.
All the characters feel real, and the situation Jenna finds herself in is well written with plenty of twists and turns.
