Friday Memes: Death Overdue by Allison Brook

Happy Friday everybody!

Beginning:
Time to move on. I crossed the Green and headed for the library.
Friday 56: 
"We haven't made any progress in our investigation. Any ideas what to do next?"
This week I am reading Death Overdue by Allison Brook. It is the first in a new cozy series. I got my copy at NetGalley. Here is the description from Amazon:
Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut until she's offered a job as the head of programs and events at the spooky local library, complete with its own librarian ghost. Her first major event is a program presented by a retired homicide detective, Al Buckley, who claims he knows who murdered Laura Foster, a much-loved part-time library aide who was bludgeoned to death fifteen years earlier. As he invites members of the audience to share stories about Laura, he suddenly keels over and dies.

The medical examiner reveals that poison is what did him in and Carrie feels responsible for having surged forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie’s determined to discover who murdered the detective, convinced it’s the same man who killed Laura all those years ago. Luckily for Carrie, she has a friendly, knowledgeable ghost by her side. But as she questions the shadows surrounding Laura's case, disturbing secrets come to light and with each step Carrie takes, she gets closer to ending up like Al.

Now it's due or die for Carrie in Death Overdue the delightful first in a new cozy series by Allison Brook.

  4. This sounds like a good one. I recently read a cozy mystery that also involved a library, Death in the Stacks by Jenn McKinlay. So Death Overdue sounds like a book I would enjoy. Thanks for mentioning it.
