Details: nr. 1 Cliff Janeway Mystery
Own.
This is the first book I've read in the cozy mystery challenge.
Cliff Janeway is a Denver Homicide Detective with a passion for books and a collection of rare and first editions.
When a local book scout is found murdered, Janeway immediately has a suspect in mind, one who has been alluding him for two years. As Janeway once again can't bring a case against his Nemesis, he flips and extracts his own form of justice, which costs him his batch.
Now, without a job, Janeway opens his own used bookstore, but soon finds himself faced not only with the deaths of two more book people, but also the emergence of an unlikely amount of rare and valuable books.
Unable to leave the mystery alone, he soon finds the book world is not as peaceful as one might expect.
This was a good mystery with characters that are not one dimensional. And it's great to be reading about somebody with a deep love for books. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
