Princess Fuzzypants here: Addie is still lingering in Yorkshire until the engagement party of her friend Tony and his fiancee Hailey.. Her return home may be delayed further when she discovers the body of a mysterious woman on the moors. It turns out the deceased has connections to the Manor that might be connected to a murder and theft in the past. Limited edition books and one of a kind jewellery are at the heart of the mysteries. If Addie is correct, solving the two thefts might lead them to a single killer. That is if the new DI will listen to her.

DI Parker is in Yorkshire after a checkered past in London. Henry Cavill handsome, he is also proving a match for Addie’s wit and intelligence. Could it be she is finally leaving her sad romantic past behind and finally starting to wake up again. But he is insufferable and she is leaving. What hope would there be for anything to develop. I have a feeling we might find out in the next volume of the series. I love the way the author has managed to blend the storylines on both sides of the Atlantic seamlessly. The reader has to remember there are two parts to this tale. It is a testament that it works so well and that the puzzle pieces fit together in a most entertaining and fascinating way.

Five purrs and two paws up.

A Limited Edition Murder by Lauren Elliott is the tenth A Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery. I recommend reading this series in order as there are a number of characters and backstories. Since I did not read Dedication to Murder, I felt like a fish out of water for the first few chapters. At the beginning of the story, we are introduced to a host of new characters (residents of Moorscrag) when Addie goes to the Crooked Lane Pub at the end of the day. It is a challenge to keep track of the various villagers. Addie is well liked by the townspeople. I enjoyed the descriptions of the village, and the cottage Addie is residing in. The bookstore sounded delightful (a haven for booklovers). I would gladly trade places with Addie. I wanted the special copy of Wuthering Heights for my library (do you think I can reach into the story and pull it out). It makes a special engagement gift (well, for a moment). The mystery was interesting yet easily solved. The detective inspector is arrogant and unlikeable. We do get to see him in a different light later in the book (by that time, I wanted to shove him off the Almscliffe Crag). The story moved at a leisurely pace. Pippi, Addie’s tricolored Yorkipoo, is a cutie (my mother would like to pull Pippi from the book). There is a going away party for Addie at the pub, but we are left to wonder if she will depart for Greyborne Harbor or linger in Moorscrag, West Yorkshire (I vote for Moorscrag).

Addie is coming to the end of her year in England, working at Second Chance Books and Bindery. She is invited to her friend, Tony's, engagement party, a gala event held at Milton Manor, and catered by not only his regular English staff, but also his staff from America. During the course of the evening, Addie accidentally spills her drink on one of the female guests, and then later, during a stroll along the moors with her Yorkipoo, she stumbles upon the woman's dead body. The investigation by the new DI puts both Tony and his fiancee under suspicion. Addie is torn between getting ready to leave England and the friends she has made here, and solving the murder before she leaves. Will this put her in jeopardy, and what to do with the handsome DI and his obvious dislike of her interference. I loved all the diverse characters in this story, and the tying in of the current events with events in the past. I hope there are more stories of Addie's adventures, specifically in England for a longer stay. Disclosure: I am voluntarily reviewing this book received through NetGalley and all opinions are strictly my own.

A limited edition Murder by Lauren Elliot published on May 21 2024 by Kensington books. This book is the tenth installment in the Beyond the Page Bookstore mystery series.
This was the very first book I have read from the author , so I haven’t read any others from this series but I will definitely be going back to read more of them! Cozies are always books that I ten to hurry to read ❤️

Overall, I really enjoyed this cozy mystery and I will read more from this author. It was a great find!

While this is the 10th book in the series, it could be read as a standalone novel. However, readers could have a greater appreciation for the characters if they read the books in order. Overall, this is a fun cozy mystery which takes place in the English Countryside. When you throw in a sweet romance, a cute dog, and numerous books, what more could you ask for? Perhaps a second mystery to solve, which you find in this installment. It's fun to sleuth along with the characters. Readers familiar with the series will likely enjoy it, and those new to the series may want to check out the prior books.

A Limited Edition Murder was my first delve into cozy mysteries! I did enjoy the overall storyline and 'whodunit' trope, however, I think my literary interests are elsewhere and mysteries may not be for me. I also found out that there are multiple books in this series, so some of the plot points and characters were linked to the previous books, leaving me a little muddled and confused. I may try more of Lauren Elliott's books in the future, but as of right now, I'm happy to let my cozy mystery reading lay low for a while.

While enjoying her extended stay working at Second Chance Books and Bindery in West Yorkshire Adie still feels far from home her friends and her own beloved bookstore. The engagement party of her dear friend Tony at the Milton Manor promises to be a joyful distraction. But trouble is brewing when Tony presents his fiancé with a special copy of Wuthering Heightsas an engagement gift the lord of the manor insists the book was stolen from his library. When Addie takes her Yorkipoo Pippi out for a walk on the moors she discovers the body of a young woman. When the police accuse Tony of foul play Addie vows to get to the bottom of what’s going on. This was a great story with entertaining characters. I would recommend it to everyone.

This was the first book I've read in this series, though I think it works reasonably well as a standalone. However, the romance tropes were just a little too much for me. The plot was fine, but I found the book only partially engaging. Just not my cup of tea, I think.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Good mystery, but since this was #10 in the series, I had some problems catching up with Addie's past.

When Addie's good friend, Tony, throws an engagement party an unknown woman shows up uninvited. The following morning as Addie is walking her dog, she finds that same woman dead. With the police involved, A cold case from 20 years ago is linked to the same crime. Only the newest detective refuses Addie's involvement in solving the crime.

Even though every step she takes leads to the killers.

A must read!

The tenth book in the Beyond the Page Bookstore mystery series is a real page turner and takes place in England. Addie is swept up into another murder investigation when her good friend Tony and his fiancee Hailey become the main suspects in the murder of a young woman. A stolen book, a stolen necklace, and two murders 20 years apart that. Addie is sure are all somehow connected. Often butting heads with Noah, the handsome police detective, Hailey is determined to put the clues together and find justice for the two victims. This was a well written fast paced book that had me turning pages late into the night as I couldn't sleep until I knew whodunit!

I truly love this series. I've always sensed that Addie never quite settled into Greyborne Harbor. Indeed, she forged some solid friendships and established her bookshop, but it seems she truly found her niche in England. There, after the turmoil of her past, she's surrounded by people who appreciate her for who she is, without any pretense, away from those who have caused her pain.

I adored this story, its characters, and the setting. Personally, I would prefer her to remain there, perhaps with the occasional trip home or hosting visitors in England. She has no binding ties and is worthy of happiness.

I am totally Team England.

A perfect cozy! Twisty plot, interesting setting and characters make this an enjoyable read. I particularly liked the way the author wove Wuthering Heights into the story.. Looking forward to future books in this series. Thanks to #NetGalley and #ALimitedEdition for advanced digital copy.

Stumbling across a body while taking her dog for a walk, Addie is determined to find the killer after Tony is suspected by the police. Lots of twists and turns make this an excellent read. Love this series! Thanks#Netgalley and #Kensington for the eARC in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are mine.

I have read and enjoyed this whole series. This was a different setting, but still enjoyable. Loveable English characters. Visiting her friend Tony while working at a bookstore. Double mystery. Recommend

Addie is thrilled to attend the engagement part of her friend Tony. Though things heat up a bit during the festivities, it body Addie and Pippi stable upon while on walk. What should be a joyous time turns into Addie trying to clear Tony’s name and figuring out how the body connects to everyone…if it even does.

I love this series and it’s fun to have an entry set in another country. Pippi is the cutest and she certainly makes Addie’s life more full, though it’s certainly full of sleuthing all on its own. Looking forward to more adventures with Addie and Pippi.

I want to thank Kensington Cozie and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review A Limited Edition Murder by Lauren Elliott.
The cozie books are always a nice relaxing break between the heavier stuff.This one takes place in a small town in England.
Who is the woman in the red and white flowered dress?
Where is the missing necklace? Who does it belong to?
How does an old copy of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte fit into the story?
Addie and her constant companion Pippi are the stars.
It seemed to me it ended a bit abruptly!
A Limited Edition Murder published 05/21/2024.

A Limited Edition Murder is a cozy mystery that takes place among the moors of West Yorkshire. While mending a broken heart and contemplating her future, Addie finds enjoyment in her work at Second Chance Books and Bindery. And this coming weekend, she gets to celebrate one of her closest friend's engagements. Unfortunately, the party is overshadowed when a dead body if found the next day. Who is the young woman? What was she doing at the engagement party? And why does no one seem to know her?

When the newly engaged fiancée turns prime suspect, Addie knows she must help. She can't have Tony's beloved going to prison before they start their happily-ever-after. With a new detective in town, who seems to have it out for Addie, Addie is up against all odds. She finds herself in the middle of not only a murder investigation but also a case of grand larceny. Adding to all the pressure, Addie's friends from the states are expecting her home within days. Can she solve these mysteries in time?

While A Limited Edition Murder takes place in a charming setting and has quite a few great main characters, I found that, overall, it wasn't my favorite cozy. There were simply too many characters who all related to each other in very complicated ways. I found myself having to keep skipping back to remember how each character was related to another. This confusion made the mystery a bit frustrating and hard to follow. Additionally, I couldn't really relate to Addie's back-and-forth on whether to go back to the States. She seems very happy and at peace in England, so why the need to go back just because her friends want her to? Finally, I didn't like the "cliffhanger" ending. It didn't feel right for a cozy.

While still nursing a broken heart, Addie Greyborne remains tucked away in the British moors working at the Second Chance Books and Bindery in West Yorkshire. Her dear friend, Tony, is soon to be married and has found a rough and battered early edition of Wuthering Heights, which he meticulously re-binds to give to his future bride. All is well until the local lord claims that the book is the one which was stolen from his library years before. Meanwhile, while Addie is out for a stroll on the moors with her Yorkipoo, Pippi, the two encounter a young woman's body which appears to have fallen to its death. It just happens to be an unknown "guest" who had been seen at the Tony and his beloved's engagement party. Can Addie again save the day and remove the specter of "murderess" from over Tony's fiancé's head and free her from the local jail?

This tenth book in the Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery series is charming and well written. Author Lauren Elliott, has deftly crafted a whodunit with twists, turns and many a red herring. The dark and brooding moors create an air of anticipated nefarious doings. It is good to see Addie maturing from the earlier books in the series. However, this reader still finds her willful yet indecisive and dangling the emotions of friends at the end of a stick. The supporting cast remains charming and I loved their interaction with one another as well as their grace with Addie. I look forward to reading other stories by this author and of a maturing Addie within this series.

I am grateful to Kensington Publishing for having provided a free e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Their generosity, however, did not influence this review - the words of which are mine alone.
