About this listen

For fans of Miranda James and Jenn McKinlay comes an enthralling series debut featuring a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of a ghost in the stacks.

Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut until she is 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 15 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 gone forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie is 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.

I love books set in libraries and was happy to find this series! I will be reading more in the series.

loved this

I thoroughly enjoyed this cosy crime with its ghosts, nasty co-workers, romantic interludes and couple of murders. The narrator was excellent and the story moved along at a good pace. I’m going on to book 2 straight away.

Who knew a library could be so full of intrigue

Impossible to finish due to narrator's terrible Scottish accent! Male voices also sounded too similar.

Dreadful accent!

This is a really tired, overlong, overindulgent Cozy mystery.

The lead lady made so many basic errors and the protagonists did so many implausible actions, it falls apart for the readers. This is best read in the paper or e-reader version, to be able to skim through it.

The premise is great, but the execution is very poor.

Really overlong Cozy

The story is well written but the perpetrator is obvious from first meeting.

The heroine is likeable in some ways but she is also uncaring of the safety of others and herself. She also drinks and drives.

I feel that a more careful overhaul and thorough editing of the original manuscript would have created a much better book.
