Bookfrogs and Mystery

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan
4.5 stars




Lydia works at the Bright Ideas bookstore and feels a special affinity for all of its bookfrogs, a group of downtrodden people who spend their days among the stacks of books.  One evening, Lydia finds one of her favorite bookfrogs has just committed suicide with a familiar photograph in his pocket; photograph that he has no possible reason to be in possession of, which sets off Lydia on a journey into her very violent past.  I was completely astonished by this book and the level of suspense and twists that I didn’t at all see coming.  I enjoy books that take me by surprise and are well written and this is both.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
