Newlyweds Brooklyn and Derek are enjoying the final days of their honeymoon in Paris. As they're browsing the book stalls along the Seine, Brooklyn finds the perfect gift for Derek, a first edition James Bond novel, The Spy Who Loved Me. When they bump into Ned, an old friend from Derek's spy days, Brooklyn shows him her latest treasure. Once they're back home in San Francisco, they visit a spy shop Ned mentioned. The owner begs them to let him display the book Brooklyn found in Paris as part of the shop's first anniversary celebration. Before they agree, Derek makes sure the security is up to snuff--turns out, the unassuming book is worth a great deal more than sentimental value. Soon after, Derek is dismayed when he receives a mysterious letter from Paris announcing Ned's death. Then late one night, someone is killed inside the spy shop. Are the murders connected to Brooklyn's rare, pricey book? Is there something even more sinister afoot? Brooklyn and the spy who loves her will have to delve into the darkest parts of Derek's past to unmask an enemy who's been waiting for the chance to destroy everything they hold dear.… (més)

This used to be one of my favorite mystery series, and it has all the things I generally enjoy: likeable, fleshed out secondary characters, strong friendships, wacky families, and the bookbinding angle is a serious plus. But the last couple of books have felt heavier handed than usual in terms of the relationship between the MC Brooklyn, and her now-husband, Derek. Lovey Dovey is the only term I can think of to adequately describe it. I prefer affection to be subtle and I don't need to be reminded how much they're in love. It was all a bit too sweet.

The plot of this one, too, felt overdone. The guilty person was a caricature villain, and I think it coloured the overall premise of the murder plot: the killer felt cartoonish and silly, so the plot did too, just a little bit. It's not a fair bleed over; objectively, the plot it good and not at all a stretch given character back stories. But the murderer's characterisation just sort of ruined it.

In spite of all of this, I still enjoyed the story well enough; I love the characters and having just recently been to San Francisco, the setting was fun to re-visit. ( )

I like this series a great deal, best thing is the quality hasn't diminished over the course of the series. Brooklyn still has her book binding scenes which drew me to the series in the 1st place and the mystery itself is as good as any in the series so far. I hope Kate has another book in the pipeline because now I'm all caught up. ( )

Little does Brooklyn Wainwright know that when she buys a little in the book stalls of Paris while on her honeymoon, that she is bringing home not only her hunky husband, Derek Stone ex-MI6 agent turned security specialist, but a reason that endangers both of them. The book, Ian Fleming's The Spy who Loved Me, has a secret that someone is willing to kill for.

I loved the mystery and the way that the story evolved. The characters are great. ( )

Ah, Brooklyn, for such a sweet woman, you sure have a way of making women homicidally angry at you. In this latest adventure, the newlyweds come back from their honeymoon with a treasure, a first edition of The Spy Who Loved Me. A friend of Derek's from his spy days, who now owns a security store, asks to borrow the book to display during the store's 1st anniversary celebration. Of course, someone tries to steal it. And, of course, a dangerous woman has Brooklyn in her sights. Thank God she met Alex and learned self-defense or she'd be dead by now. ( )

I just love these books. The mysteries are not too hard, but the characters and locales are fun. Makes me wonder if I have the patience to try bookbinding or book repair......... I still want to know more about Guru Bob.
They are just the right sort of cozy. ( )

This book is dedicated with love and gratitude to Jenn McKinlay and Paige Shelton, both brilliant writers and great friends. I pinch myself daily because I can't believe how luck I am to have you as my co-conspirators and plot partners. Thanks so much for this one, and for many many more.
