A Page Marked for Murder by Lauren Elliott is the 5th A Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery. This cozy mystery can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series or if you have missed a book or two. Addie Greystone owns Beyond the Page, a bookstore and curio shop in Greystone Harbor. She is fortunate to have Paige Stringer as her shop assistant (she is also referenced as store manager). Without Paige, Addie would not be able to run around town solving crimes (I am curious as to how she can afford two employees). I had mixed feelings about A Page Marked for Murder. There are some parts that I liked and other parts that I could have done without. I love the descriptions of the bookstore, the book references, Gloria's adorable dog, and Addie's Victorian home. The death of Brett Palmer has misdirection and a handful of suspects. I liked that the murder weapon was a curiosity. I wish it had been as challenging to identify the guilty party. I could have done with less speculation and time spent rehashing the case details. The story could have used action to liven things up (would have helped the with the pacing as well). I appreciated that the whodunit was wrapped up without leaving any lingering questions. I do think it is time for Marc Chandler, the chief of police, to get past his issues with Addie. Addie takes care of Gloria McBride's Yorkipoo, Pippi who sounds adorable. I am beginning to think, however, that I am the only person to leave my dogs at home (or without a babysitter) when I go out to run errands. I thought it was sweet that Pippi needed her teddy bear, Baxter to sleep peacefully. Dr. Simon Emerson and Addie's relationship is developing and going in a positive direction. Kalea Hudson, Addie's cousin, is still living with Addie and sort of working at the bookstore. Kalea is up to something and neglecting her duties. Addie needs bite the bullet and to talk to Kalea. I am hoping that we will see less of Kalea in the next book. I do not like Kalea or her attitude. I keep hoping Kalea will learn a lesson, but I do not see that happening. While A Page Marked for Murder was not a home run for me, I am looking forward to reading Under the Cover of Murder when it comes out in the spring. A Page Marked for Murder is a curious cozy mystery with a bear named Baxter, a cutie of a canine, a mystifying murder weapon, a valuable volume, a prisoned parent, and one stumped sleuth.
