Jordan Kelly is delighted to make money tracking down rare and valuable mystery novels for her employer, Vera Van Alst, an avid collector and the most difficult woman in Harrison Falls, New York. But now her boss’s complete set of Dorothy Sayers is missing, and finding them may lead Jordan to a murder suitable for Sayers’s esteemed sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey… When Jordan manages to locate her boss’s missing books, they are in the possession of Randolph Adams, an elderly man in a nearby town. Offering a valuable Hemingway first edition as an incentive, Jordan thinks she’s about to seal the deal—but some of Randolph’s relatives think he should hold out for more.
Then the entire family disappears—and a dead body shows up. It’s up to Jordan to collect the clues—and make sure a killer gets booked.

Epub The Sayers Swindle
Honestly loved it! I had not read the first in the series but somehow stumbled upon the second, and as a stand alone you can jump right in and enjoy the mystery! I am so enamored of this book - it is a snowy day here and i tucked in and read it cover to cover without stopping, it was that good!
I did pick up on parts of the mystery so i knew what was coming in certain parts, but the actual mystery in my opinion is never what keeps a good book readable. The characters drive a good story, and I loved Jordan and the fact that she was not a too stupid to live ditz was quite refreshing. She was smart and funny and brave and loyal to family and friends. What more do you need?

I really enjoy these book collectors mysteries. The first one rotated around Agatha Christie books. Now this one takes on Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books. Our heroine, Jordan Kelly, tracks down old collectors edition books for her employer, Vera Van Alst. Vera lives in a beautiful old home and is prominent in her hometown in New Your, but all she cares about is her library of books.
Vera's Sayers books were stolen. A bookseller friend of Jordan acquired them without knowing they were stolen, then she sold them. Jordan must get them back or risk loosing her job. The problem is that her friend is still recuperating from an attack that left her memory confused. They do find an old gentleman who may have bought the books, but something is definitely wrong with his living arrangements. Dead bodies show up, people might not be who they seem, and breaking and entering becomes a dangerous decision. Jordan wonders what Peter Wimsey and his girlfriend, Harriet Vine would do.
The characters in this book are especially strong and interesting. The many well placed and used references to the Sayers' books is superbly done. Intriguing and fanciful mystery connecting famous author to a present day mystery. One of the best cozy series out there!! Looking forward to many more!
