Love to read? Then this is the blog for you! I love to read and spent a great deal of my youth at the library, Disney World or running from my sister. And, yes, that photo is of me and the beautiful Evil Queen from Snow White. You will find my reviews on Amazon, GoodReads, Christianbook.com, BAM, Pinterest and FB, as well.

"Elementary She Read" by Vicki Delany

Elementary, She Read (A Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery #1)

I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

"Elementary, She Read" by Vicki Delany is the first of a new series... A Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery.  It is a classic "who done it".  Gemma Doyle is part owner (with her Great Uncle Arthur) of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium in West London on Cape Cod. Adjoining her bookshop is her best friend Jayne's tearoom. After a bus tour, Gemma finds a valuable copy of a Sherlock Holmes magazine hidden amongst her book offerings.

While trying to return the magazine to it's rightful owner, Gemma and Jayne stumble upon a body and Gemma becomes the primary suspect. Gemma is gifted with noticing things that other people do not, as did Sherlock Holmes. The book takes you on her journey to find the killer. Lots of interesting characters are introduced, including an ex-boyfriend, hunky antique books expert and other own residents.

This book was an enjoyable and quick read. It is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading some of her previous books and later books in this series.
