I enjoyed this book very much. The characters were believable and at times had me laughing. This was another book which I finished in one sitting and in fact I was so engrossed in the story that when I turned the last page I was a bit sad I couldn't live in that world any longer.

Awww a wedding aboard a luxury family yacht ~ sounds so romantic.
Wait a minute two murdered bodies are found.
I have attended many weddings but never on a yacht but sure this is NOT typical!
This is my first read in the ‘Beyond the Page Bookstore Mysteries’ series and this is #6.
I found by going back and reading some reviews I got a bit caught up on the characters.
Addie Greyson is a bookstore owner and seems to be more involved with police/murder investigations. But that is what you do if you are a Cozy Mystery Protagonist`~ Right?

Love a nice cozy mystery ~ fun read! ⭐⭐⭐.4

Publishing Release Date scheduled for March 30, 2021

I loved this installment in the series. old books, good friends and a mystery. I like the characters and the reason of getting the MC involved in the mystery.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series. Addie and her friends figure out who done it as always. Addie is always sleuthing in every case. This is A VERY GOOD READ, I finish and I am always looking for the next one.

It's finally time for Serena Chandler and Zach Ludlow to walk down the aisle. However, as with any wedding there is bound to be a hiccup or two! This time the trouble comes in the form of a dead body found on the beach, and an uninvited guest. Will Addie Greyborne and Police Chief, Marc Chandler, be able to solve the crime before Serena and Zach's big day is ruined? Not if Addie has anything to do with it!

Ever since Addie Greyborne stepped into Greyborne Harbour in Murder by the Book I've been absolutely smitten with this series. It is a bibliophile's dream, with all the bookish treasures at both Addie's store and her house. This time the bookish treasures have moved aboard a luxury yacht, and there is the mystery of not-quite-right "first editions"!

With the murders surrounding the first editions, I love that this gives Addie a reason to "snoop"! Not that she wouldn't have tried to anyway. She sweeps up friends, Catherine and Paige, along with her, and the three make a fabulous detective trio as they follow the clues.

The mystery itself was first class! The entire time I was on the completely wrong track, and I didn't manage to solve it before Addie and Marc. I loved that the mystery was a "locked room", in that the entire group were stuck on the boat! It definitely had a very modern-day "Agatha Christie" feel to it.

Under the Cover of Murder is my favourite in this series so far! The ending gave me all the cozy "curled-toes" feeling, and I just loved trying to solve it alongside Addie! If you haven't visited Greyborne Harbour yet I thoroughly recommend you do! Start with Murder by the Book and you'll be so hooked, that you will want to read them all!

This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. Addie is a fun character who knows her books. Although she may not always go looking for crime, she always finds the criminal. This book kept me guessing longer than some of the others in the series. So many motives, two murders, and the reader is not quite sure which crime is the crime Addie needs to solve. Even better the whole story take place on a super yacht. Worth the read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review of the book.

This series is always a mixed bag for me. I tend to find the protagonist unlikable, but I do love the setting and premise of the series (a woman owning a bookstore finding herself in all kinds of mystery and mischief).

I felt like this was a weaker entry in the series. The setting is fun--a "locked room" mystery on a yacht. That was the best part of this one for me. Otherwise, the number of confessions the protagonist seemed to stumble upon became a little much--even for a cozy mystery. If you follow this series, however, there is some movement in the personal lives of the characters that could be important--so you probably will still want to read this one to make sure you understand the character trajectory.

As a final note, even though I didn't love this one I still keep reading the series. So I would recommend this to others who have followed this series thus far. If you haven't read the series before, I recommend you start with the first and move forward.

Addie is back again! This book is different from the others in this series because it takes place on a fancy yacht rather than the usual places around Greyharbor. It took me a couple of chapters to get into this book because it was not taking place in the usual places, such as Addie's bookstore or Serena's tea shop. I think the author does a great job of describing the yacht and just how grand it is to stay on board.

Of course it is taking place on the yacht because Addie's best friend Serena is getting married on board to Zack. I think the author does a great job of keeping you guessing right until the end because there really are so many suspects. It seems like so many have a motive for the killings and other secrets that are discovered along the way.

This will be another hit for author Lauren Elliott! She is one of my top favorite cozy mystery writers. I look forward to the next in this series!

This is a series that I've found always to be interesting as I love anything regarding books. When a wedding is added to the book angle and on a luxurious yacht, I found it a very interesting read.

The characters' relationships are continuing to evolve as time passes and I felt like I was visiting with old friends.

It's well-written and easy to read. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

Lauren Elliot’s 6th book of her “Beyond the Page”
series shines as the apex! Elliot keeps our attention as she intertwines the characters in unexpected relationships. Mother and daughter’s romantic rivalry is electric adding sparks that were unexpected and fully caught by Elliot

Addie Greyborne has detective skills that surpass the local police department’s. Her expertise with book’s become priceless as she detects falsehoods. Romantic interests, past and present, shadow Addie’s search for murderer’s who killed around the time of her best friend’s wedding. Following the second murder, all of the wedding
guests are sequestered to a luxurious yacht fully surrounded with full-service staff. Unfortunately, a murderer remains on board resulting in questioning everyone’s motives.

The book has a surprising and climatic ending that brings all of storylines together. It was an enjoyable easy read. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for providing me the opportunity to review and provide feedback on “Under the Cover of Murder”.

This cozy mystery was a very fun read. I loved the characters in this story, they were filled with so many secrets, I couldn't find out whodunnit until the end. It was a surprise. The plot was very interesting, but what I loved the best about this book is that the author picked the exact character to be the victim as I would've chosen. Definitely a five star read. I received an advanced reader's copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book. It's got a lot going on a all times. It's fast paced and the characters are great. I was surprised by who the killer was, he just wasn't on the radar. #UndertheCoverofMurder #NetGalley

What an intriguing whodunit! So many suspects - so many clues. Addie Greyborne, amateur sleuth and and owner of Beyond the Page Books and Curios has two murders to solve. As usual she has her gentleman friend, Simon and her other friends to help solve the case. I enjoyed keeping up with all the sleuthing and vetting possible suspects. Addie's book expertise really helped solve the case.

I was intrigued by the role of the collection of books in resolving the mystery, and the backdrop of the luxury yacht definitely made for a change of scenery compared to many of the cozy, murder mystery novels I have read.

Sadly I found the main character just lacking. Addie just seemed to luck upon hidden clues, eavesdropping on intensely personal conversations (It seemed unlikely that such sensitive issues would be that easy to listen to) and popping around corners just as.... You get the idea.

Then the interpersonal relationships just seemed a little twisted, eg the police chief was involved in a romantic capacity with no less than three of the key characters at various points of time.

I also really struggled with the story line and how the murder mystery was resolved. So, this one was just not my cup of tea. I'm sure there are others who will enjoy it!

With thanks to Kensington Books, #Netgalley and the author for my advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Addie Greyborne is super busy with her friend Serena's wedding when Marc pulls her in to try to identify a piece of book found on a dead body. Following the wedding another guest is found dead and all those still aboard the yacht are ask to remain. All Addie wants to do is to get into the library and get her hands on some of Oliver Ludlow s fancy books. But the minute Addie opens the first book she realizes that its a fake. Mr. Ludlow insists otherwise. So Addie continues to dig into the books. Its not until she picks up Affairs at Styles and finds blood. Not only blood but the bottom corner is missing a piece. The piece matches the piece found on the dead man. Further investigation finds the murder took place in that very library but the blood isn't that of the dead man. However finding the killer or killers proves to be a challenge as there are too many suspects with too many reasons for them to want to commit a murder/ murders . Will things get solved or will they all be stuck on the yacht for a long time?

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of UNDER THE COVER OF MURDER (Book 6 of the Beyond the Page Bookstore Mysteries) by Lauren Elliott in exchange for an honest review. Serena and Zach’s wedding is finally here. Serena’s horrid soon to be stepmother-in-law has managed to alter every single detail of the nuptials except for the identities and attire of the wedding party. The morning of and the morning after the event finds murder victims washing ashore seemingly from the yacht serving as a venue for the wedding festivities. Lies, intrigue, and betrayal heavily permeate the lives of the wedding guests, so Addie Greybourne calls in all of her friends to help her separate the perpetrator from the merely perfidious. A rare book from the yacht’s library may be the clue upon which the case is resolved.

I liked this book and enjoy the series. I recommend the book to fans of the series. I recommend the series to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, bookstores, book themes, small towns, coastal settings, and town events.

I'd have murdered the step mother in-law, then slapped the father in-law and the groom for letting the over-entitled witch hijack the brides wedding. The sleuthing is pretty good in what is basically women's fiction. The first body is found before the wedding but remains unidentified for a time. Then the second body means that everyone is sequestered by the police.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley.

Even in the midst of an extravagant wedding, Addison Greyborne can find herself in the middle of a murder mystery. And while trapped on a yacht with the killer no less. This is book six of the Beyond the Page Bookstore mystery series, and although you can read this engaging and clever cozy as a standalone, reading the whole series is like solve a great mystery with your closest and dearest friends. I am excited to read the next installment!

I was given a chance to read this book through NetGalley and Kensington Books, thanks! This is the sixth book of the series and takes place almost completely on a yacht which is docked in Greybourne Harbor. Serena and Josh are getting married and this is where it will take place, with several of the guests spending the night. No spoilers. but it seems that several of the guests have secrets that they will do anything to prevent them from coming to light, including the murders of two reporters. In this book it seems that Addie is too often over hearing converstations that give her clues to the case and most of the book is all about her taking chances to find things out. I do know that this is an advance copy, but there were several typos that I hope are fixed before it is published. A couple of romantic twists at the end and a surprise for Addie make it an interesting book.

Much like a locked room mystery, this locked on a ship mystery is just as exciting and with all the possible suspects this one might be more than Addie and her pals can take on especially as the lead investigators seem to be having a power struggle. Excellent characters that have been fully brought to life and a town setting that you wish you could really visit make this series a must read series! While I have loved every book in the series this installment has slightly edged into the lead as my favorite so far as the plot moved quickly with lots of twists and turns to broaden the suspect pool continually! I absolutely can not wait now to read what happens to these characters in the next book as lots of life changes happened for them in this book and I am anxious to see how they all play out!
