Death Goes Postal Dan and Rivka Sherman Mysteries Book 1 edition by Rosemary Mild Larry Mild Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
On April 16, 2004, Professor Abner Fraume is strangled to death by Professor Emil Kravitz in Bath, England. Why? Because Fraume owns a set of rare 15th-century typesetting artifacts that Kravitz desperately wants. Unfortunately for the murderer, the items are no longer in Fraume's house. The researcher had anticipated his rival's intentions and had mailed the package elsewhere. Then he also sent three separate letters to his sister Edythe containing cryptic clues revealing the package's location. At the scene of the crime, Kravitz sees one of the letters and reads its clue. He thus knows where his search must lead next to Edythe Bender's Olde Victorian Bookstore in Annapolis, Maryland.
But alas! Before Edythe can fully deal with her brother's death and with the artifact clues, she herself succumbs to cancer. Enter Dan and Rivka Sherman, acquaintances of Edythe. The bookstore owner knew her time was limited, and she convinced the Shermans to buy the business before she died. The couple is brand new to this type of enterprise. Added to the sudden stress of managing a store is the Shermans' necessary entanglement in the artifact search. They quickly learn the basic details of the murder in England and its American ties. The mystery writing critique group that they host at the store has attracted a number of new members. Four of them are male. One is probably Emil Kravitz, traveling under an assumed name. But which one is he? Can Dan and Rivka uncover his identity, solve the clues, and/or find the artifacts before he does? How much should the two get involved in an investigation that really shouldn't concern them?
Readers are served a rather complex plot here. They are given the chance to know some of the back story and to witness certain developments as they happen, but not all. This enticement keeps the pages turning. We can only hope that Rivka and the artifacts will be saved, and that Kravitz will receive the punishment that he deserves.
Still, some niggling discrepancies in the narrative prevent this novel from being a flawless offering. The bookstore seems to operate more like a library, with the clerk filing the volumes by Dewey numbers instead of by genre and surname. No one notices if anyone is speaking strangely, or with a possible disguised accent, when at least one of the men must be a British investigator who is tailing the Chicago-born Kravitz. As a reader, I found myself questioning circumstances more often than I usually do.
Overall, "Death Goes Postal" is a decent read with somewhat compelling main characters that may appeal to an audience of both genders. I won't keep track as new installments are added to the series, however. I may have had a different response to this book if I hadn't just read Wendy Welch's The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap A Memoir of Friendship, Community, and the Uncommon Pleasure of a Good Book right before it. Her memoir depicts the everyday dealings of the used bookstore that she and her husband started in the mountains of Virginia. If you want to know what it's REALLY like in the independent book business, that's the volume you should pick up. Cozy mystery series based on bookstores include Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand series, Lorna Barrett's Booktown Mysteries, and Allison Kingsley's Raven's Nest Bookstore Mysteries. Dan and Rivka's first adventure, though unique and challenging, is relatively average by comparison.
Dan and Rivka Sherman have recently become the owners of the Olde Victorian Bookstore in Annapolis, Maryland. At the request of their friend Edythe Bender, they've taken over ownership in an offer that is too good to refuse. However, what they didn't know beforehand was that owning a bookstore could lead to murder and mayhem.
Unbeknownst to Dan and Rivka, the previous owner's brother, Professor Abner Fraume, was protecting rare 15th century typesetting artifacts. However when the professor is murdered by Professor Emil Kravitz, Kravitz is anticipating stealing the artifacts. However, Fraume was smart and he hid the artifacts and sent his sister Edythe with three separate letters involving clues for their location. Now that Dan and Rivka own the bookstore, they become entangled in this mystery involving lost artifacts and a murderer that will do whatever he can to locate them.
Death Goes Postal is a wild ride of thrills as Dan and Rivka try and uncover the identity of Kravitz. There is a mystery critique writers group, that hold their meetings at the bookstore, and they have a few new members. They are certain that one of those members is Kravitz, but which one?
I liked the historical aspect of finding the artifacts, and the international intrigue with robbery, muggings and murder. Death Goes Postal is a unique, new look at cozy mysteries set within a bookstore environment, and with two likeable sleuths (and a bookstore cat named Lord Byron) was a very enjoyable read.
Rosemary and Larry Mild do an amazing job of writing in their book, "Death Goes Postal." This is a very entertaining and moving book from the beginning till the end. The villain Emil Kravitz is a strong believable character throughout the material. Eighty-eight-year-old Professor Abner Fraume is a noted researcher and a wealth of information concerning the early Herr Koenig's matrix molds. Professor Fraume's sister, Edythe, lives in American with her husband. They are both very sick and own a bookstore of which she wants to sell to the couple of her choosing. Dan and Rivka Sherman soon purchase the bookstore and get involved in a mystery of sorts that could even cost them Rivka's life.
Liz a bookstore worker and friend of Edythe, soon learns important information concerning letter that Professor Fraume sent to his sister and she has the clue to where they are at. At a book gathering Liz shares more than she should of this information and the fun begins. There is a break in into the store, the kidnapping of Rivka and the FBI involved in hunting the molds before Emil Kravitz can escape with it.
I found this book to be very enjoyable and fun reading. I especially enjoyed Sir Lord Byron the bookstore cat. He is a part of the store and try's to offer protection when an intruder comes snooping around. Dan and Rivka offer a very keen insight into taking a clue and figuring out its solution. I enjoyed learning from them as well as watching how Rivka communicated with her kidnapper remaining calm and even helpful at times. I look forward to reading more books by this husband wife duo and the next journey they will take me on.
Great mystery
