The first I visited Dubrovnik, it was love at first time, and this was years before I decided to settle in a part of the world not too often visited by the sun. The character of The Dubrovnik Book Club by Eva Glyn, an author I´ve previously reviewed on my blog, Claire Thompson, is delighted to start her new life adventure in the sunny city.
As she starts working in a small cute bookshop in the Old Town, she is discovering the beauty of the place, the warm people and last but not least, the warm weather. But as she is getting involved in a local book club, together with her cousin and the other employees in the bookstore, Carmela and Luna, things may switch to moving sands. Embarking on a cosy mystery read, the newly made friendships may be put into question.
This book is not only set in a city that I love but also explores a topic I am very much interested in: at what extent books and fiction in general may influence your every life. Especially when it involves a mystery.
The Dubrovnik Book Club is a good holidays book - preferably in Dubrovnik - but don´t expect an easy read. It has interesting psychological observations and a wide range of events that may keep the reader alert.
Rating: 4 stars
