A Berry Bookish Puzzle

Rate this book
Kylie is thrilled when the space next door is finally leased out to a bookshop owner. Unfortunately, opening day doesn’t go as planned. Instead, the bookshop becomes the scene of a murder.

Who could’ve killed Charlie Mccoy, a man of many secrets and just as many enemies? With a murder to investigate and a friend’s wedding to plan, Kylie must call on all her friends to help keep the Berry Home afloat as she scrambles to uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Meanwhile, Brad is left to fend for himself as a newly minted detective, while Gregson and Zoey obsess over their new joint venture.


"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com

"A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com

"For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com

A Berry Bookish Puzzle is the tenth book in the Kylie Berry Mystery Series. Though it can be read as a standalone, it's best read in series order.

This is a humorous cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and family, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language or scenes.

It had so much potential. I have loved this series until this one. There are just too many glaring mistakes. At one point, it's clear the text was restructured but wasn't proofed correctly and it spoils itself!! I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I could have if the finished product had been smoother.

Bookish puzzle indeed

This 10th book of the Kylie Berry series like its predecessors is hard to put down and leave the reader thinking until the end. There are a few parts that the reader may forget whom a character is or one huge instance of a character mentioning something that didn’t even happen yet and leaves a couple of questions. Overall A Berry Bookish Puzzle is a fun book with humor mystery and heart.

Puzzle solved

It was a wonderful cozy read. Characters as always really good and sounds funny but I think I know who the hit man is. How do you choose a guy for her they are all so wonderful but skipped a book in the series so the Joel thing surprised me. Stand alone good but only if you haven’t read a few of the others but not all first then it throws you off

Well done!

I loved this latest installment of Kylie's story! The usual cast of characters, threats and near-death happenings, plus her cooking is improving! Her love life still has some muddled areas, but what can you expect from Kylie?

Good book between lengthier books

It was a quick read and a fun ‘sorbet’ between other books. My only complaint was it could have done with some additional proof reading. It wasn’t so bad such that I might pick up another in the series.

Virtual voice was just ok. Close but still enjoy the warmth of a human voice.

Story was fun and light. Great characters and interactions with each other. There was a warm sense of community between the characters. I would enjoy more by this author. Maybe not with a virtual voice however.

An Okay story

I think this book is needs editing. There are some glaring mistakes in the sequencing. Otherwise it was okay, but not as good as the earlier novels in this series.

I would have given it 4 stars if two characters didn't have a conversation about a plot point that had NOT happened yet. That is a huge editing/proofreading error to miss.
