Review: The Codebook Murders

The Codebook Murders The Codebook Murders by Leslie Nagel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE OAKWOOD BOOK CLUB MYSTERIES is one of my absolutely favourite cozy mystery series. I can't help but love characters who adore books, and this series features several strong-in-integrity female characters, along with several male series characters who are respectful, supportive, and loving (even protective). The books are well-written and compelling, examining the characters in great depth, and providing puzzling mysteries to be solved.

In THE CODEBOOK MURDERS protagonist Charley Carpenter and her Oakwood Book Club (which reads and discusses only mysteries by female authors) stumble upon a 40-year-old local mystery, and how it resonates with their current book club selection, Agatha Christie's DEATH ON THE NILE (which made me want to reread it!). The case is so cold, but a killer still lurks, active and determined to keep the original murder forever unsolved, no matter who has to die or be ruined.
