Review of 'Dark and Stormy Murder' on 'Goodreads'

This is one of my favorite of Julia Buckley's series. It is well written and also holds the reader in suspense. Lean London is a bookworm, and her idol is a Gothic mystery writer named Camilla Graham (think Mary Stewart or Phyllis Whitney!). This first book in the series is about Lena actually getting a chance to work as her idol's assistant, live in a house that belongs in a Gothic tale, and of course get embroiled in a mystery herself. The characters quickly become dear to one, and they feel very real. I just re-read the whole series, which I own on ebook and audiobook, and they stand up to the re-reading process very well.

Highly recommended.
