Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by
Matthew Sullivan was an Audible book discovery. It’s a perfect blend of unique
story, character study, hair-raising suspense, and murder mystery.
Lydia Smith lives a quiet, understated life by design. She likes it
that way. Working in an independent bookstore, the eccentric clients have
become her family. When one customer takes his life in the bookstore, there are
many unanswered questions. Inexplicably he left all of his scant belongings to
her. Lydia discovers that there are clues about his life hidden among books in
the bookstore and in his possessions. Her investigation into his death leads
her into her own disturbed, violent past.
This story is tight, well-written, and beautifully paced. Matthew
Sullivan has won awards for his short stories and it is evident why. This is
his first novel.
I have to say, I am totally in love with Audible Books. I can keep a
hardback or paperback on my bedside table or use a kindle when I travel and
want lightweight and portable. Then, I can listen to Audible when I walk or via
Bluetooth when I drive. It’s book-lover’s heaven.
Highly Recommend.
