MIDNIGHT AT THE BRIGHT IDEAS BOOKSTORE: A NOVEL- APRIL 2018 BOOK SELECTION


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.
