    About this audiobook

    Excited to explore the secrets of wine country, Brooklyn attends an excavation of the caves hidden deep under her parents' commune - and the findings are explosive. A room is unearthed, and it contains a treasure trove of artwork, rare books, a chest of jewelry...and a perfectly mummified body. A closer examination of the murdered man's possessions reveals a valuable first edition of Jules Verne's A Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hidden in the book is a secret map that unveils an even greater hoard of treasures. As reporters and art appraisers flock to Sonoma to see the precious bounty, questions begin to rise. But not all crime is buried in the past. When a new presence threatens the town's peace, Brooklyn decides to do a little excavating of her own...

      It would have been better without all the "I's".... I realize it was all a part of introduction to the character, her family, background, but it was too chatty for my taste..... so, minus 1 star.The story once I skimmed past all of those wasted pages was fine, even interesting....Excavating for for a new wine cellar on a Northern California commune a hidden room is uncovered. The inside the room is filled with exquisite antiques and a mummified body with a valise. In the valise is a rare book, inside the book is a treasure map that leads to a hidden room beyond the one where the body was found.As it turns out, the treasure was that of a village in "safe-keeping" of a family that fled France as Nazi occupation began... When the other families arrived from France to settle & claim their valuables, the one with the knowledge had died and there was no hope of recovery. With the opening of the buried rooms the local families have hope of regaining their heirlooms, but a murderer is terrorizing the commune.
    • 3/5
      Very pleasant and engaging mystery. For me, the ending was a bit unsatisfying (in that it turned out just how one would expect it to do in real life: independent actions that only looked to be part of a larger, complex plan), and the "bibliophile" angle was minimal. But still, it works very well as the latest (ninth) episode in the evolving storyline of the protagonists.

      Brooklyn and Derek are house sitting in Dharma while their San Francisco loft is being renovated. And it's an exciting time in Dharma because they are starting an excavation for a new tasting cellar. But in true Brooklyn fashion the excavation is stopped when Brooklyn stumbles over yet another dead body. And this one has been waiting for her for a long time.This book has to be one of my favorites in the series. It is set in Dharma instead of the city, and that was refreshing. We get to learn more about the history of the winery and Dharma. We also learn more about Guru Bob. Of course it would not be a bibliophile mystery without a bit of bookbinding (not too much for me). And in this one I learned a bit about wine. We meet so many new characters and renewed some old acquaintances. And the mysteries are pretty good too. So much fun.

      Brooklyn is back in Darma with Derek. A mystery is found in Guru Bob's backyard and family history. At least Brooklyn knows she is not a detective; she doesn;t seem to work much either........
    • 3/5
      It's very much a change of pace for the series. The current day mystery doesn't start until the book is half over but the historical mystery makes up for that. It's also nice to learn more about Brooklyn's crazy and talented family along with the commune where she was raised.

      Brooklyn and Derek are summering in Dharma (California wine country) while their apartment is bein renovated. The Dharma Commune (where Brooklyn grew up and her family lives) is having their wine storage cave enlarged but when the workmen come across a bricked up cavern, Brooklyn is the one who notices the body during the exploration. Not only is there a body which appears to be mummified, but that are hundreds of antiques and pieces of artwork. Where did it all come from? How did it get bricked up? Who is the dead man?The ensuing search for answers was completely mesmerizing, the historical aspects interesting. And as usual Brooklyn and Derek alluring in their connection to each other and the people around them.

      Brooklyn Wainwright is staying in her California wine-country hometown while the home she shares with the “hot” and “hunky” Derek (as the author reminds us every other page) is being renovated. While excavating a cave workers come upon a secret stash of treasures …. and the body of an unknown murder victim that has been sealed up in the cave for 70 years. Our heroine is known for finding bodies, but she’s never found one in Dharma, the commune in which she grew up. And she’s devastated for “Guru Bob,” who runs the place and whose ancestors owned the land on which the commune’s winery now stands. It turns out the body was that of a friend of Guru Bob’s grandfather Anton. And the treasures belong to French families in the area whose kin trusted Anton to keep the items safe for them during the Nazi era. Now those items need to be returned to their rightful owners. Guru Bob enlists Brooklyn and Derek, who has a murky past and now runs a high-end security firm. While Brooklyn and Friends are dealing with an obnoxious appraiser and several pushy reporters, another person is murdered and a relative of Guru Bob is injured. It’s up to Brooklyn, Derek and the “hot” and “hunky” Gabriel, who’s helping them, to figure out what’s going on. Although I like this series, and have been reading it on and off for years, I find perfect characters like Derek and Gabriel irritating. Hot, hunky, courageous, smart, wealthy, fluent in several languages, an expert on just about everything … and a romantic at heart? Give me a break. I realize that reality is different in the cozy world but every characters needs a few flaws to make them interesting (IMHO).

      RIPPED FROM THE PAGES was simply a wonderful book. Author Kate Carlisle has done another fantastic job of penning an edge of your comfy reading chair mystery. Brava!I really enjoyed the excavation and discovery of the hidden room with all the amazing treasures including, but certainly not limited to, rare books. It’s the sort of place many of us would love to discover, with the exception of the body. Who am I kidding, that would be pretty exciting too, wouldn’t it? Ms. Carlisle’s descriptions of the room were so vivid I could see it as I read. It was so easy to picture myself in the center of it all. My mind began working right away on who the body was, how it got there, and who was responsible. The characters in the series are so easy to connect to and are a lot of fun to read. As always, it was a delight to spend time with them. Brooklyn’s (the lead character) mom is a hoot. I thought my Mom could be ornery, but this lady is a real handful! Filled with tons of twists and turns, this was a thrilling read that culminated in a satisfying reveal. If you’re a fan of the Bibliophile Mystery series, you are going to love this installment! If you haven’t read the series, you can start with this book and not feel too lost. It will however make you want to go back and start the series from the beginning. If you’re looking for a great weekend read, you are going to want to pick up a copy of RIPPED FROM THE PAGES.

      Carlisle removes Brooklyn from her usual setting of San Francisco to the wine growing commune of Dharma, where she grew up, and it works like a charm in this new Bibliophile mystery. I really liked the historical aspect of this particular story. When a body is discovered, mummified, in a cave the winery is excavating for a new wine room, the treasures found as well added to mystery. The information about how the area was largely settled by some French, while escaping their own country as WWII broke out in Europe, was fascinating, as was how they brought grape vines surrounded by their home soil to grow in America. Brooklyn and Derek help Guru Bob, Dharma’s leader, handle both the press and the police during the investigation into the treasure filled tomb. Brooklyn’s family and other characters are welcome additions, they lend a different feel to the story than ones from Brooklyn’s bustling San Fran life. I think Brooklyn's stories have morphed into a lot more than the traditional cozy fare, can't wait to see what happens next.
