A Book Store Cozy Mystery #1

by Lucinda Race

Enjoy this clean, paranormal cozy mystery by award winning and bestselling author, Lucinda Race.

In a small town like Pembroke, Maine, everyone has something to hide. But when bookstore owner Lily Michaels takes a tumble and hits her head, and her cat Milo starts talking to her, she discovers she has something to hide, too. She’s a witch, and Milo is her familiar. And she’s not the only one in town. Lily has been hiding something else, too. Even though she’s always kept Gage Erikson in the friend zone, her feelings for the man Milo calls Detective Cutie go a lot deeper than she’s willing to admit.

Gage has a secret too. He’s always had a crush on Lily. But if he gives into his feelings, it might mess up the wonderful friendship they have. With his cowboy boots and cherry red pickup truck and knack for just letting folks talk, people might underestimate just how good a detective Gage actually is. But is he good enough to discover all of Lily’s secrets?

Somebody in Pembroke knows a lot about the secrets people are keeping, and isn’t above a little blackmail. While Lily struggles with learning how to be a witch, she works with Gage to uncover the truth, and a new kind of magic develops between them. Will they continue to be just friends, or will they finally admit to the secret love they’ve been hiding?

Books and Bribes is the first novel in A Book Store Cozy Mystery Series, although each book can be read as standalone. A sweet and clean cozy mystery with a guaranteed the culprit is caught. Happy reading!

Ok now be honest with yourself.... what would you do if you found out that you were a witch? Also, what would you do if your cat started talking to you and you understood everything he was saying? Well, this happened to Lily!

Lily is the owner of Cozy Nook Bookshop in Pembroke, Maine. It's a a small town where everyone knows each other. But do they really know everything about everyone? Everyone has secrets and Flora, the head librarian knows everyone's secrets. But, who would want to kill her? Granted, Flora isn't nice to anyone but is that enough to kill her or is something else taking place? Lily sets out with her cat, Milo, a grey and white striped tabby cat 🐈‍⬛ to solve the case. Gage, the detective, who is Lilys best friend, keeps warning her to stop investigating his case. Do Lily and Milo listen? Chaos ensues and sparks start to fly!! Oh no 😯!!

Lily and Gage have been attracted to each other since highschool. Do they ever admit their feelings for each other? Can they solve the murder case together or separately? What is Gage going to do if he finds out Lily is a witch? 🧹 🪄

I really loved this cozy, clean mystery!! It was a lot of fun to try to find the killer! I guessed right!!! Yay!! It's full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the end. It's a perfect, light read for Spooky Season!! 🧹🪄🐈‍⬛

I really hope that whoever reads this book will love it as much as I did!! It also fulfills one of my goals for this year to read more books at home 💛

Happy Spooky Season!!

Enjoy and Happy Reading 💫🪄🧹🐈‍⬛

I've long been a fan of cozy mystery and suspense books, starting with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and of course Agatha Christie.
I longed to try my hand at writing a fun, witchy cozy mystery series. This book is my foray into this genre and although it was one of the most challenging books and series to write I'm proud of the way they've turned out and I hope you fall in love with Lily, Gage and of course the irrespirable Milo, familiar extraordinaire.
Happy reading!

I can’t decide if this was good or bad

[Nicola Day · Rating 1 out of 5]

Wow this novel was not for me. I'm only giving it 1.5* because I managed to finish it (albeit I complained about it the whole time).

The plot was predictable and very clunky which makes the main character seem ridiculously stupid. The murderer was very obvious from the beginning and any "clues" were like giant neon signs that Lily conveniently ignored.

The change of perspectives between Lily and Gage seemed particularly pointless especially because it removed any possible intrigue about their romance and it made that aspect of the story sincerely dull.

The mixture of crime and magic could have worked well but neither was very well fleshed out. Lily didn't seem to care that she had just become a witch which makes the whole thing seem pointless beyond giving some plot armour to the finale.

The writing was cheesy and full of clichés.
"It was easy to see how much he cared for my aunt. It was as plain as the nose on my face." And the dialogue felt very clunky.

And the author expects me to believe that someone would DREAM of blackmailing someone $50K about getting married to someone they've been dating for decades???? As if!!

Some parts of the novel I even reported to kindle because they switched from 1st person narrative to 3rd person part way through. A mess!

Overall this felt like something a high schooler would write (errors and all) although I think a high schooler would write more interesting characters and relationships.

Downloaded for free through Stuff Your Kindle Day.

3.5 rounded to 4

I enjoyed this cozy fantasy/mystery. It had some cute elements to it, but I did find myself confused because the delivery of the characters’ relationships just didn’t match the implied intentions by the author. I also found what was expected to be one of the juiciest twists to fall extremely flat and I guessed the killer pretty early on. Either way, I still enjoyed it.

[Tari · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really loved this and can't wait to read the next book! It was interesting to have it switch between Lily and Gage's first person points of view. It was mostly Lily thought but fun to read how Gage's brain worked sometimes!

It was cool how Lily found out she wasn't alone as a witch since her Aunt Mimi and bestie were witches as well, and boy did they come in handy for the showdown! I had a sneaky feeling at one point as to whodunit and ended up being right. The showdown was both exciting and tense as others worked with Lily to take care of the perp. I like that Lily and Gage were getting closer and now there's mysterious law officer in town named Dax. I read the preview at the end of the book and now I'm curious to find out what he's in town investigating!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by the author via BookSprout, and my opinions are my own.

[Julie Booklover · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have been a Lucinda Race fan for some time, her cozy mystery series is a great addition.

A cute, fun, quick read, and not your usual cozy. Lily has quite the awakening after a fall; Milo is a hoot and Detective Cutie, will he discover Lily’s secrets? A little magic, a little mystery, and a little romance?

Thank you to Booksprout and the author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

This was a fun cozy mystery. Lily and Gage need to get it together, they’re to old to be playing around with emotions

[Timothy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I gave it two stars because I managed to finish the book. At times I was unsure I would make it to the end. Dialogs were stilted and people were answering questions that were never asked or responding to comments never made. Lily Michaels, the main character just discovered she is a witch so one of her first questions is about how many witches are in her small hometown. She brags several times about how smart she is and how good she is at solving puzzles, usually right before she makes a stupid guess as to who the criminal is or saying something that makes me think she is about 13 instead of her supposed age in her early 30s. Most of the book is told in 1st person from Lily's POV, except for when it slips into 3rd person in the middle of a paragraph. Interspersed are chapters told in 1st person by Gage, the detective on the case and Lily's best friend. (Again, with those slips into 3rd person.) As becomes clear from the two different viewpoints, although they are both in their 30s, their "romance" is back at 13 middle-school level.
Despite Lily being sure that at least 3-4 different people were the bad guy(s) the mystery wasn't very mysterious. I think the part I liked best was her snarky familiar, a cat named Milo. But that isn't enough to get me to try another book by the author.

[Karen Wrobel · Rating 1 out of 5]

I needed a new book series to finish up a Kindle challenge. I’d already read everything else that sounded interesting so decided to give this a try. So anyway, this is just bad. The writing is bad (here’s a gem - ‘she kissed my cheek, and the clean scent of sunshine filled my senses’ - curious what sunshine smells like but I digress), the main character is either an imbecile or a psychopath (although supposedly she’s beyond smart with a mind like a steel trap, just ask her, she’ll tell you) and worst of all, the mystery is stupid (why Aunt Mimi’s ‘secret’ is worth blackmail is the biggest mystery in the book). The ‘romance’ is beyond cringe, and the ‘I just found out I’m a witch!!’ side plot is an afterthought at best. I got to 52% (after working on it for a week and reading two other books in between) and decided life is too short, so I read the last chapter and that was all I needed. I’ll be generous and call it 1.5 stars.

[Lily · Rating 1 out of 5]

I said I wanted something dumb and quick to read and this sure fit the bill. Reads like a first draft by a teenager; I’m astonished that a published book can have such appalling prose, but even more astonished that so many reviews are five stars. Literacy truly is dead.

[Shirley · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this cozy mystery as once again I had no idea on the murderer, it was hid well, and that makes a good tale. I do not like to ever give away what goes on in a book but truly liked the library setting. I am still unsure on "talking" cats but try to overcome that and just get lost in the telling. Thanks for another good read!

[Marianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this magical cozy mystery! Clever and funny.. Lily is smart, but seems to easily get herself into mischief.. Gage is super cute!

Easy quick read. I managed to guess the ending pretty early. I loved the talking familiars, but it didn't grab me enough to read the rest of the series.

Quick and easy cozy mystery. Nothing to really get super excited about . If you are a fan of mystery novels you will figure out who done it pretty quickly. Overall I enjoyed it!

[Mayi Carolina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute little book!

[Pav Marek]

I try to stick to the rule of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything." For a first-time author? It's solid work. Sure, some things slipped through during editing—sometimes it felt like autocorrect went to town, a few sentences didn't make complete sense, and the MC was once called by a completely different name. (Who the heck is Libby?) All these things can slip through the cracks.

However. When I got to the end of the book and saw the laundry-list of books the author has published, plus the "About" section where I found out that she's an "award-winning and best selling author," I was flabbergasted. Suddenly, the fact that the MC felt kinda stupid even though everyone in the book repeatedly described her as the smartest cookie they know got me a little angry.

Then again, trying to be positive here... I mean, it's got nice cover? I like rhubarb pies and one of the characters baked one once. The MC had trouble reading through a book she needed to read, so at least that was relatable. There was a solid attempt at humor.

To include a bit of introspection, maybe I'm just a little annoyed that I've been re-writing and editing and polishing up my own book for years and still don't have the guts to put it out there. At least the author was brave enough to show her work to the world! Not everybody has that kind of courage.

Might try another book by Lucinda Race again, might not. Only time will tell.

[Neliana Ferraro · Rating 2 out of 5]

Books and Bribes was my first real "cozy mystery," and I have to say, I think it will be my last.

This book isn't horrible, but it didn't feel like the characters and plotline were at all realistic or believable.

The main character, Lily, was incredibly unlikeable and annoying. She had almost no reaction to finding out she has magical powers???? That her cat talks??? That her friend and aunt are also witches????? She owns a bookstore but can't be bothered to read the witchcraft book that holds all the answers to mastering her abilities??? She literally falls asleep when even picking up the book??? Hermione could never.

Lily also is so unserious about someone getting murdered?? She's so nosey and not in a cute, quirky way. It's to the point where if I met her in real life, I'd immediately dislike her because of how disrespectful she is about someone dying.

The love connection between Lily and the male lead is also cringey. He gets a point of view too, and just hearing his thoughts is so ewww. The "will they, won't they" isn't intriguing because they're both insecure idiots who will probably never make a move.

The actual murder plot is also meh. Not giving spoilers, but it felt very rushed. It didn't feel like the killer had enough motivation to "go crazy" or be pushed over the edge.

Reading this book, it really felt that "cozy" is really code for "not as good."

[Sandra Holladay · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really wanted to give this book more stars, but Lily just irritated the heck out of me. She was so smug and thinking she was so smart and Gage even commented many times that "oh she’s so smart" a lot smarter than him evidently. I just didn’t like her attitude. I think if I found out I was a witch. I would’ve taken studying the book a lot more seriously than she did. Not sure if I’ll read the next one or not. If so, hopefully, Lily will have matured a bit.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book one in the Book Store Cozy Mystery series by Lucinda Race. I received this book for free on Amazon during a Stuff Your Kindle day. As a result, I read the e-version of the book. Still, not having a physical copy in my hands did not interfere with the sense of nostalgia I felt while reading this book. I could almost feel the glossy front cover of the rectangular paperback as well as the sturdy, rough, off white paper with each turn of the page. I was easily transported back to the Scholastic Book Fairs that I enjoyed at school. This is just the type of book that the 10 year old version of me would have happily chosen. Well, if I was given any money to make a purchase and if I had the freedom to do so without the requirements and restrictions of the crazy cult in which I was raised.

Books & Bribes introduces us to Lily Michaels, owner of a small bookstore in Pembroke Cove, Maine. The twenty-something old, Lily, suffers a fall and upon awakening discovers that she is a witch and that her cat, Milo, can talk. As her familiar, Milo, encourages Lily to read the magical tomb that tumbled upon her head as she begins to explore her heritage as an eclectic witch.

Lily’s exploration of her new found knowledge is interrupted when a murder occurs in town prior to the regularly scheduled Monday movie night. Death on the Nile becomes Death on the Front Steps when Lily’s Aunt Mimi, and fellow witch, becomes the prime suspect in the murder. Why someone would want to murder the local librarian and how she can clear her aunt of suspicion while discovering the true murderer quickly becomes Lily’s main focus much to the dismay of local police detective, Gage Erickson.

If Hallmark channel has a preteen version of “cute meets” and couples figuring out that they are meant to be more than friends, then this book would make for a perfect adaptation to movie form. The interaction between Lily and Gage while sharing pastries and coffee during their “non-dates” as friends are enough to make any pre-teens heart flutter in hopes of a future romance. Both characters admiration of the other is likable without becoming obnoxious in their oblivion of the obvious mutual attraction.

While this book is found in the adult mysteries, the writing is breezy and a simple read for most readers 4th grade and up. There is no profanity, no sexual situations and I believe the most difficult vocabulary word used by the author was bucolic. As long as the theme of magic and murder do not offend your sensitivities then this is a nice read for any preteen or even an adult looking for a lite daily read. Reviewers on Amazon give this first book in the series 4.2 stars. Whereas, reviewers on Goodreads give 4.0 stars.

There are nine books listed in this series. Book two is entitled Catnaps & Crimes. It can be found on Amazon for $5.99. Book one is still available at this time for no cost in Kindle format.

[Helen Broadbent · Rating 2 out of 5]

Warning: do not read unless you want major spoilers. What an extremely irritating main character. Lily thinks she is a super sleuth doing her love interest’s job for him but she is so wrong. After mentioning candy wrappers throughout the book she still fails to recognise the killer even when offered said candy.
She is also very excited to be solving her very first murder as if it’s a game and she has no concern that someone has actually been killed even if that person was horrible. Also very weird that the victim would send Lily the note like she did. Way to big up her already grossly over inflated ego, “Good news, I’m certain I’ve cracked the case for him”.
Some continuity errors:
On one page we switch from first to third person. On another her name changed from Lily to Libby.
She even seemed surprised when her aunt’s cat spoke to her despite being told she was her aunt’s familiar.
Milo’s voice is described as being deep on one page and scratchy on the next.
She says she can hear Milo but his mouth doesn’t move yet he says when he talks people just hear him purr. So does his mouth move or not!
Why did the police leave the library door unlocked and the blackmail list out in the open? Why was it not already at the station?
Who does Lily think she is demanding that her aunt tell her why she was being blackmailed? “Aunt Mimi, just tell me why she wanted to extract money from you”. WTH! “I was all about grilling my aunt and her beau until they confessed their secret”. And when the reason came out, who on earth would pay to keep that a secret, especially 50k?
Why did Marshall scowl when he saw them in the car then look surprised to see them on his farm when he had already seen them. (His eyes widened). Then he tells her she’s a nice lady.
It was never explained why the ‘three musketeers’
travelled together.
Gabe’s quote “dang, her mind was razor sharp”, hahahaha.
Purest not purist.
This book reminded me of watching an Aurora Teagarden episode on TV. The main characters are very similar. Extremely irritating, librarian/book seller, police love interest etc. Just the magic that’s different.
On the plus side Milo is great.

ABOUT THE BOOK...
In a small town like Pembroke Cove, Maine, everyone has something to hide. But when bookstore owner Lily Michaels takes a tumble and hits her head, and her cat Milo starts talking to her, she discovers she has something to hide, too. She’s a witch, and she’s not the only one in town. Lily has been hiding something else, too. Even though she’s always kept Gage Erikson in the friend zone, her feelings for him go a lot deeper than she’s willing to admit.

Gage has a secret too. He’s always had a crush on Lily. But if he gives into his feelings, it might mess up the wonderful friendship they have. Gage is a good detective, but is he good enough to discover all of Lily’s secrets?

Somebody in Pembroke knows a lot about the secrets people are keeping, and isn’t above a little blackmail. When they are found murdered, Lily will have to use her puzzle-solving skills and newly learnt magic to uncover the culprit, even if Gage forbids her from interfering in police matters…

MY THOUGHTS
This is the first novel in ‘A Book Store Cosy Mystery’ series, although it is implied that each book can be read as standalone. It is described as a clean, small town, paranormal cosy mystery and I agree. Although the subject matter is murder, I would say that this is a PG read.

The story is told from the perspective of Lily and Gage. I thought their friendship was quite wholesome, although I’m not sure how they could be so blind to one another’s undying love. I would have liked more of Gage’s everyday life, as we only read his POV when he is around or thinking about Lily.

This was a cute pallet cleanser. It wasn’t a mind-blowing read, but it was fun and I can definitely see myself picking up the rest of the series. Each book appears to be under 300 pages, so they would be perfect for when I am in a reading slump.

[Julie Howard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, I did like this book but feel it's not quite a three and not quite a four star, somewhere in between would have been good and to be honest I can't really say why. I think it is mainly because I was expecting the newly acquired powers meant magic spells was going to wrong, which leads to humour but that wasn't the case. There was magic it just involved reading a book and practice but there was no funny mishaps, although there was a snarky cat. There wasn't anything to really make it stand out from other books in this genre. You are given two perspectives throughout the investigation that of the main character Lily and her make suitor detective Gabe. This means you know everything that is going on and how everybody really feels. I did like the character and I had guessed who the killer was way before Lily ended up in trouble. I would join the characters again, just to see how things develop.
After Lily hits her head, she discovers she owns a talking cat, also known as a witch's familiar. Lily isn't the only one in her family to possess powers but as she is a late bloomer she has a lot of catching up. Especially when her aunt becomes the number one suspect in a murder. The grumpy librarian was killed during film club and even through she wasn't nice to anybody Lily's aunt is top of the suspect list. Lily unable to do nothing other than practice her newly acquired magic can't help but get involved and the more she learns about the librarian the more she learns lots of people had reason to kill her, including her aunt. Can Lily clear her aunt's name and find time to practice her magic.
I have heard the narrator read a number of books and she always puts In a good performance.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Books & Bribes is the first book in the Book Store Cozy Mystery series by Lucinda Race and from the moment you start reading this book, you will be hooked !! Race knows how to get you invested immediately !!!

In Books & Bribes readers are introduced to main character Lily right after a dusty book falls off a shelf in her bookshop. It knocks her out briefly and when she comes to she finds out that she can understand her cat Milo. And then he informs her that she is a witch !!

Now if that doesn't keep you turning the pages, hold on......

Before Lily can thoroughly grasp all that, she has to get to the library for movie night. Unfortunately before movie night gets underway, she and those that are gathered for the movie, hear a scream and Lily recognizes it as her Aunt Mimi. When they get to where Aunt Mimi is, they find her standing over the body of the mean librarian Flora .... holding the murder weapon !!!

Still need more convincing .....

The detective on the case is Gage who Lily has secretly loved forever and Gage feels the same way but neither is willing to chance their friendship by admitting their true feelings. Oh and Gage has Aunt Mimi on the top of the suspect list so Lily decides she will investigate the murder herself ..... lots of tension there but fun for the reader !!!!

And the last thing I will share with you because I am pretty confident that you don't need more convincing but will give you like a bonus tidbit ..... Race provides most chapters in Lily's "voice" but every so often she gives you a glimpse of what in going through Gage's mind also.

Books & Bribes is a fun read with a captivating tale that is paving the way for the future books in the series. I am totally a fan and cannot wait to see where the next book takes me ......

Books and Bribes - A cute, funny introduction to a new series by an author whose books I enjoy. Usually a romance writer, Ms. Race tells a good witchy tale quite a lot better than the usual dumb down Cozy. Good characters, talking animals and a sweet romance made for an entertaining, enjoyable read. 5*

This author's books are well written, well thought out with interesting story lines and loveable characters. She also does not follow the Stupidity Formula that is so common nowadays with characters that cannot communicate, and act and think stupid. There aren't any silly misunderstandings. Read my complete reviews for the following books under their titles:

Stars Over Montana, #1 - My first read by this author. Although the repetition about their break up from the past got on my nerves, the story is a sweet, interesting second chance for two people that deserve each other. 4*

Hiding in Montana, #2 - A sweet romantic, dramatic addition to the Stars Over Montana series. Enjoyable with the romance and the intrigue. 5*

Lost and Found - A lovely, sweet story about second loves, old friendships and family. Characters were logical and could communicate their thoughts and opinions. 5*

Sugar Plum Inn - I enjoy reading books by Ms. Race, they are usually sweet with likeable characters and good story lines. It was easy to get into the lives of Dora and Charlie, they were well supported by Joan and Fleur. 4*

Holiday Heart Wishes - Cute little romance combined with the romance of an older couple. Sweet. Interesting. 4*

A Secret Santa Christmas - This is just the sweetest, most romantic story about Secret Santas. This is an enjoyable, enchanting story with loveable characters, especially the SS and the helper Elf. 5*

Where has this cozy mystery series been all my life? I’m a HUGE cozy mystery reader. I know what I like, and this is my dream cozy mystery! It has quirky characters, the victim is a nasty piece of work, the heroine is a puzzle-loving woman who’s just discovered she’s a witch, a snarky cat, plus a small town that’s just delightful. To say I inhaled it is an understatement. I’ve read it twice already and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

This is Lucinda Race’s first foray into cozy mystery, yet the writing is one of a seasoned pro. The plot unfolds at an easy pace. The mystery itself is expertly written and executed. The author only reveals bit by bit, as Lily stumbles about trying to figure out the mystery. The more she investigates, the bigger the suspect list grows. Yes, the suspects are aplenty but that only increases my enjoyment. There’s also some fun paranormal bits and even a potential romance. Each subplot intersects with the mystery but doesn’t hijack the plot.

The characters are such fun to read. They’re small town, quirky, and easy to connect with. I like Lily the best, though. She’s a smart woman with an inquisitive mind who enjoys puzzles and owns a bookstore. Oh, and she’s just found out she’s a witch. The witch thing is hard to figure out for Lily, but she tries. She makes an excellent sleuth, her and her cat, Milo. Each character has its own distinct voice which I appreciated.

If you are a fan of cozy mysteries with some paranormal elements, you’ll want to dive into Books & Bribes. An unputdownable cozy, curl up with Milo and Lily.
