Publisher's Summary:
Running an antiquarian bookshop in London might seem like a nice, quiet job, but bookseller Dido Hoare has had more than her share of adventures. Die Once is the next entry in Marianne MacDonalds wonderful mystery series featuring Dido Hoare.
When Timothy Curwens check bounces, Dido Hoare is amazed. Curwen had been a good customer, spending freely at her antiquarian bookshop. The morning paper says that Curwen committed suicide, but the police soon suspect murder. When Dido sets out either to retrieve the book or to obtain payment of it, her quest leads her down a twisted trail of cover-up and betrayal surrounding Tims death.

Dido does it again!
Love this series!
Good Mystery.
This book, along with all the Dido Hoare mysteries, was good. Marianne MacDonald is a very good writer. I only have one problem with her books and the use of one certain word. They don't seem to be called for and I really wish she had left them out.
Suicide and Dickens
Paul Grant weaves in and out of Dido Hares life like a bad penny, but who uses whom when the chips are down? The sixth installment of Marianne MacDonald's series has all the quirks and bends that makes this modern cozy fun to read.
A frequent customer bounces a check and plunges to his death. Timothy Curwen, who lives in the apartment house of the deceased sets Dido on a long chase when she arrives to evaluate his estate and discovers only the last purchase, which she takes home with her. Rumors and secrets emerge as Dido discovers she didn't know her customer.
A nice addition to this fine series.
Nash Black, author of SINS OF THE FATHERS and TRAVELERS.
Nicely written and English. A fun read
Single mother and antique book dealer Dido Hoare is supprised when one of her best customers bounces a check. Then she finds that he apparently committed suicide. Financial ruin would explain the bounced check and the suicide, but it wouldn't explain the continued interest the police have in her customer, the law firm that's handling his non-existant estate, or the odd story that turns up in the newspaper writing up the dead man's life. Dido is in to the tune of the two hundred pounds the first edition Dickens is worth and she decides to see if she can get her money back somehow. What she finds is a surprise--none of the expensive books she sold the dead man are anywhere in sight.
Author Marianne Macdonald writes an interesting story. Dido and her father, Barnabas, in particular are well developed characters with full lives and curiosity that drives them on even when they know that they are simply getting into trouble. Macdonald's strong writing sustains reader interest even when not much is happening.
Toward the final third of the novel, the story seems to meander a bit, as if Macdonald wasn't sure where to take it. The plot line recovers however, with an exciting chase scene to bring things to closure. Fans of this fine series will definitely enjoy DIE ONCE.
warm cozy
Dido Hoare's Antiquarian Books and Prints store is doing well and the associated mail order business and website is increasing profits for the single mother and her son. One of her best customers is Timothy Curwen who usually buys her expensive Victorian books whenever she gets them into stock.
