Booked for Murder
Booked for Murder | RJ Blain
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Life as a bodyguard and driver for the rich, famous, and powerful is dangerous on a good day, and after sustaining a crippling injury while on duty, Janette’s left with few options. Having signed a ‘for life’ contract but unable to work, she uses her skills to disappear. Her new life as a librarian suits her. Nobody cares she limps and sometimes requires a cane to walk. She’s wanted for her knowledge, not her lethal magic. She’s surrounded by books, a woman’s best friend. But when her former employer’s best friend is murdered on the steps of her library, old loyalties and secrets might destroy her—or set her free. Teaming up with her co-workers to find the killer might keep her from being booked for murder, but unless she’s careful, she’ll find out exactly how far her ex-boss will go to reclaim what is rightfully his. Her. For life.

If you‘ve read RJ Blain before then you know what you‘re getting: talky plotty fun with a chunk of world building. This book is the start of a potentially interesting murder-mystery but gets a bit bogged down in getting all the pieces in place. Good enough that I‘ve pre-ordered the sequel, although I‘ll be hoping the plot moves on a bit more.
3/5

Those bookbub ads have me all curious again!

(But this particular title wasn‘t on sale - so for now it will remain a mystery to me)
