Acquisition Of Rare Book Turns Murderous.....
The race to acquire a rare edition of a book turns murderous in this Blue Ridge Library mystery. Enjoyable amateur sleuthing, a cast of colourful characters and a delightful setting makes this a very enjoyable and overall fun read.

Thank you so much for introducing me to this author! I enjoyed reading this intriguing murder mystery.
“A Deadly Edition” is good book with a good storyline and interesting characters. I will definitely check out more books written by Victoria Gilbert.

This book started out rather confusing to me but finally got it straightened out. Once the body of Mr. Selvaggio was found. Amy the amateur sleuth got involved to try to help with the who dine it part. I really did not figure how who did it until they actually decided who did it, I enjoyed this story. A good read.

Amy and Richard are barely a week away from their wedding, when once again murder interrupts their lives. This time Amy's brother may have something to do with the death, and she can't just sit around and watch as he is treated as a suspect. We continue to learn more about all of the characters, and the plot is well developed and moves at a good pace. The series is only getting better with each book.

This one was quite the page-turner. Any time more family 'arrives' in a book, I know that we'll learn even more about the sleuth. Not only do we need to find a killer, but the 'mystery' of the brother also kept me reading.

I found this mystery to be well-done with believable characters that I think that I could connect with and really enjoy a dinner with them.

This is a series that I've read from the beginning and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Another quickpaced library cozy with fun characters whose stories progressed well along with the mystery. The ending was a bit convoluted for me given all the actors and i feel like Esmeralda could have had a larger more intriguing role. Also Scotts story ended without much context either. Mission accomplished?? Still a good read with a few loose ends.

Love this series. Amys family is in town for a special occasion. When there is a party someone is murder. Amy and sunny set out investigate before another murder happens. To hear more read the book.

I had the pleasure of reading an arc of this book. This book is a well rounded read, it has secrets, romance and a murder mystery.

This book was so much fun. I love any book with a library and characters but this one had really quirky fun characters. The story was lively but intriguing. There were twists to keep me surprised, clean romance, a hint of espionage, and an ending I never saw coming. A book worth more than 5 stars.

In A Deadly Edition, Amy has a lot on her plate: she's planning her dream wedding to Richard, working as a library director, helping friends and family (including puzzling out the return of her secret agent brother), and, of course, trying to solve a murder!

The people who populate Amy's world make the book well worth reading although as someone jumping in at book 5 in the series, it took me a little while to sort everyone out.

The heart of the mystery in the book revolves around the Kelmscott Chaucer, a neat intersection of literary history and art history; this element alone was enough to pull me in and keep me more interested than a typical cozy mystery plot, and I really appreciated the details about the book itself the author provided.

The setting is described very well throughout the story, and the romantic elements also make this book fun to read.

I'm adding book 1 in the series to my TBR list; it will be fun to get to know Amy and her friends from the beginning of their stories.

Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for sending me a preview of this book before its publication!

Richard and Amy are preparing to celebrate their wedding, but someone might just off the bridal party if they don't solve the mystery surrounding the death of a party crasher! Once again this library series has scored a big bouquet as a winning plot, excellent characters and mysterious murder delight and entertain for hours on end! If you haven't put this series on your TBR list, what are you waiting for as this series is sure to be one of your all time favorites! I absolutely couldn't put this book down and I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series to be ready to be devoured!

I received this ARC via Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books, in return for an honest review. This is the fifth book in this series. Town library director, Amy Webber, and her fiancé, Richard, are celebrating their wedding with a big party. Hosted by mysterious Kurt Kendrick, they’re surprised by unexpected guests, including Amy’s brother, as well as a business associate of Kurt’s. When Amy and Richard discover a body and their friend is implicated in the death, Amy takes time out from work and wedding to figure out what happened. Assisted by family and friends, Amy’s determined to make it down the aisle, alive and in one piece.
I had not read previous books in this series and, I think, it would have helped to understand the cast of characters and their relationships to each other. The first part of the story lost me as I tried to figure out all the characters and the backstory to Amy and Richard. They seem likable and I’ll look for the first books in the series to build my knowledge.

This fifth book in the Blue Ridge Library cozy mystery series is, once again, a solid installment in the series, which features Amy Webber, small town library director who is planning her upcoming wedding.

I love this series for the interesting plots and the terrific cast of supporting characters.

A wonderfully done cozy which I'd definitely recommend.

I look forward to each installment of this series! I love the quirky characters and the fact that the story takes place in the mountains of Virginia!

I absolutely love this series and this author. I’m so glad that we finally get to see Amy and Richard’s wedding—I’ve been waiting for a while! As with all the books in this series, it was very well written. If I had one complaint (and its a very small one) the mystery was at times a bit complicated to follow along. I’m a speed reader and I found that I needed to go back a reread a few things to get them straight. Overall, a very good book and I really hope this isn’t the end of Taylorsford.

A return visit, to Taylorsford, Virginia, for the celebration of the upcoming wedding of Amy Webber and Richard Muir turns into a week full of renewed friendships, love and murder. Amy must uncover the truth regarding a valuable book that may hold the answers to a lifetime of questions as well as murder. Solving the mystery and preparing for her wedding keep Amy looking over her shoulder and at wedding preparations!

I'm a huge fan of this series! It reminds me of a gothic suspense romance, a cozy mystery and a wonderful historical novel all in one book. The mystery had several "red herrings" (which I love) and kept me guessing until the end. Amy has grown, over the course of the series, into an excellent amateur sleuth.. The intrigue of the mysterious and deadly Kurt Kendrick continues with a few more answers about his connection to Amy and her family. Other characters like Amy's Aunt Lydia, her best friend Sunny, Amy's family, friends and future "in-laws" bring a wonderful sense of community to the book.

I'm looking forward to another visit to Taylorsford, Virginia

I received an ARC from NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own.

I ended up enjoying the book towards the end. At the beginning the foreshadowing felt too heavy-handed and the dialogue was clunky. Once the action started though, the book really moved along. I also liked the romance in it: not too much, but enough to be fun.

This is the first book I've read by Victoria Gilbert and I'm looking forward to reading more.

This was a great book. Things heat up while Amy and Richard are planning their upcoming marriage. When a rival art dealer ends up dead in Kurt's shed the police automatically put him as prime suspect. But as things go along Amy discovers more than one person wanted the man dead. Non stop action. Will the wedding take place? This could be a stand alone but I recommend the others in this series.

Amy and Richard are finally getting married! At their announcement party, they find the dead body of an uninvited guest that had been vying with Kurt Kendrick, the host of the party, for a rare book. The suspect list keeps getting longer, and the surprises keep coming. It looks like Amy might not make her own wedding. There are always twists in this series, and this one is no exception.

I have read all the books in this series and feel like Amy, Richard, Aunt Lydia and the Kurt are old friends. When NetGally and the publisher offered this as an ARC, I couldn't hit "request" fast enough. Fans of this series will especially enjoy this book.

Such a lovely cozy mystery! When a book starts with "Sometimes chocolate is the only thing standing between me and murder", I am most definitely hooked! Even better when the sleuth is a librarian. A cozy mystery is all about lovable (and quirky) characters, at least one person you can't stand, a picturesque village or town, and last but not least, a good story. This one has it all!

At a pre-wedding party Amy and her husband-to-be, Richard, discovers a dead body. The murdered man is an art dealer and a mortal enemy of their host. In the midst of all her wedding craziness Amy starts investigating the case with the help of her aunt and the new mayor in town. Who killed the art dealer and why?

My only problem is that this is the fifth book in the series, and I have not read the first four, which means I don't have all the background knowledge, and this bothered me a bit. I will most definitely try to get hold of the first four books, because I am sure I'll enjoy reading them as well!
