Murder hits the stacks when literary agent Allie Cobb investigates a fatality in the local library . . .

Allie Cobb returns home from a book conference armed with hugs for her cat and her boyfriend, and dreams of a long, hot bath. She’s also getting ready to take the plunge by hiring an intern for her expanding literary agency. But it’s one for the books when Allie finds the town’s librarian—and her longtime role model—seconds away from death on the library floor.

Who would want to poison Vicky Napier—one of Rushing Creek’s most beloved citizens—on the eve of her retirement? But it seems there were toxic people in her life, like the handyman with an obsessive crush, and a wood carver with a hair-trigger temper. The list of suspects includes Allie’s boyfriend, Brent, who’s in the running to take over as town librarian. Avenging her friend’s murder could be a trap as she goes up against a killer determined to write Allie’s epitaph . . .

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Another fabulously fun installment to this wonderful cozy series though I suppose it could work on its own as well. Allie has been at a book conference and is really looking forward to being home. She has decided to finally hire some help so she can relax a little bit when she discovers the librarian one step from death. Of course foul play is involved and since she has been Allie's mentor she has to get involved. It doesn't help any when her boyfriend ends up as one of the suspects. Makes for a fun read as the story progresses keeping you guessing as to who the culprit really is. Full of charm, great characters, and plenty of small details making it perfect for fans of cozies. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
