This book has been on my Netgalley for a bit and I haven’t picked it up. I haven’t been into women’s fiction in a minute, so I’m not the right person to review it anymore.

I really enjoyed this book, although the first couple of chapters were hard to get through, it will keep you on the edge of your seat in a comforting way, it's a cozy mystery, one for when you're wrapped up in blanket with a snack and the fireplace going.

my one complaint was that there were way too many characters, so I had a hard time keeping track of everyone and everything. You definitely get the hang of it tho.

I liked the relationships Greta has throughout her community especially the strong bond that she, Josie, and Iris have. I like that the author is giving time for Greta's and Detective McHenry's relationship to bloom. She has created genuine true-to-life characters.

The author plotted out a grand mystery with several suspects, twists, turns, and red herrings. She also included a very surprising incident that shook up everything. It changed my thinking completely. I was on the entirely wrong track and just between you and me, I love when that happens. It added extra excitement to my reading as I tried to quickly figure out which important clue I missed. The event also culminated excitingly. I truly was on the edge of my seat.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This was a cute, cozy mystery, perfect for fro the librarian in your family,

This is such a cute, cozy mystery! Who doesn’t love a troupe of librarians with a small town murder to solve?

The characters are quirky, easy to love, and are a great complement to each other. The writing was easy to get wrapped up in, and I really loved this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for review!

I don't know why it took me so long to read this, because I enjoyed every minute! I love how this jumps into the story while giving the reader some background information on what happened in the previous book. I loved the mystery in this and felt that it flowed well in the story. This is the perfect cozy mystery to pick up. While I was able to figure out the main plot twist, it didn't take away from my enjoyment. Also, I think it might be a me thing since I read a LOT of mysteries. I would highly recommend picking up this series!

Greta is preparing for the fall festival in her small town of Larkspur, Wisconsin. Everything must go right as the festival has attracted the attention of a reporter from Midwest News. However, the reporter arrives to a crime scene and one of the town's residents has been murdered. Could the murder be related to the acts of vandalism that have been occurring around town? Determined to defend the town, Greta and her friends set out to find the culprit and save the town's reputation.

This series is the perfect cozy mystery for Fall. The atmosphere of Larkspur is the perfect town for a cozy mystery series. I loved Death Checked Out and immediately started Mayhem in Circulation. Greta is such a strong character, and I loved the growing chemistry between Greta and the Detective. I am excited to see what is next for Greta and her friends in the next book. Luckily, I won't have to wait long as I was approved for A Killer Hold set to release on December 8th (review to come soon).

Thank you to NetGalley and Level Best Books for the opportunity to review Mayhem in Circulation. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was approved for this book late and thus haven’t gotten a chance to read. When I do, I will post the review.

This was such a cosy autumn read. I loved the drama, and the craziness. Greta Plank is a brilliant character. Would definitely recommend to my bookish girlies.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. I was able to find the audiobook through my local library. If you want to read a cozy murder mystery type book you will like this. It is a bit cheesy, very Hallmark type plot. But all in all it was good and I would read from this author again.

Picking up very shortly after book 1, this book also continues to pull back the layers and reveal these characters to us in new ways. I loved how Greta was apt to ask for help in her sleuthing this time around and I loved seeing the relationship between her and the detective grow. The reveal was well earned and I am looking forward to book 3!

Thanks to the author for a digital copy. All opinions are my own.

Greta, and the rest of Larkspur are getting readyfor the annual Fall Festival. There’s more pressure than normal to have the festivities go off without a hitch because the town is to be featured in a travel magazine.

When tragedy strikes and bizarre events keep occurring putting the festival and townspeople in danger, Greta can’t help but try to get to the bottom of things. Her sleuthing brings her closer to handsome Detective McHenry
Mayhem in Circulation was a charming read perfect for an autumn day.

4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
 
Thank you to Net Galley for my copy of book two of the Larkspur Library Mystery series! I read the first in the series last year and really enjoyed it and this one was just as good! It’s a great sequel and such an easy and cosy read, which is just what I needed!  
 
Similar to the first book, I loved all the bookish references and the main characters working in a library I just loved. The book has a real sense of community and this is displayed throughout, which is always a nice thing in a book!  
 
I enjoyed watching Greta’s relationship with the Detective blossom a little more in this book but hopefully in book three that I believe is due out this year will reveal more! Desperate for them to get together!!! I also admire her determination in all that she does. The book does well to keep you guessing right up until the end with the murder mystery element of it too!  
 
I would say you don’t have to read the first book in the series to understand this one but you’d be missing out on just another good read if you don’t read it!

This was so fun! I didn't realize it was a series, so I went back and ordered book 1. I do think this works as a stand-alone, I was just invested and wanted to know more! Mysteries and libraries are my sweet spot. I enjoyed all the characters and the plot was very solid. I didn't figure it out until the end.

I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

I love Greta Plank. Before reading Mayhem in Circulation, I read book one.

Greta, Josie, and Iris are the cutest group of friends. The way they work together to figure out what happened and why was well written. The chemistry between Greta and Mark has a lot of chemistry.

I love a good cozy mystery and Mayhem in Circulation did not disappoint. Look forward to book three.

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest, personal review. I found this one such an adorable cozy mystery, with the small town feel and of course a librarian leading the investigation. I didn't realize there was a book before this but I am ready to read that one next!

Can I call a murder mystery adorable? Well, I’m going to. This is such a cute cozy mystery. I really loved it and was happy to find something i could recommend to family members and friends. The characters are excellent and engaging, and the small-town setting of Larkspur is the perfect backdrop…almost a character in its own right. Any story with librarians as characters has a bit of my heart. Greta is wonderful and relatable as the librarian and amateur sleuth. “She wasn’t trying to stick her nose where it didn’t belong. Really she wasn’t. But if there was anything she hated it was when things didn’t make sense. And a murder in Larkspur…did not make sense to her.” The touch of romance is sweet and well-balanced with the mystery. The mystery had several layers and was intriguing. I often find that I figure out cozy mysteries too early, but this one had many different possible paths and I felt like it kept me uncertain for a satisfying length of time. And the writing was lovely. “At this point, the whole thing was like reading the end of a book and then having to guess how the author got to the final scene. Greta longed to figure out the order of the chapters - to piece together the plot line and make the story make sense.” As a cozy mystery, this toed a perfect line for me with keeping the mystery from anything too gruesome or scary, but maintained suspense and interest. This is a clean story with no harsh language. This is the second book in the series and I’d recommend reading the series in order for all the carryover and background, but it can also be enjoyed as a standalone.
