Romance, murder, and a small town librarian
Can I start off by saying that Amy will resonate with anyone
who has worked in a library in the last twenty years? If you have any
experience with that, any fond (or exasperating memories), then this book is worth
a look for that alone.
Once we are introduced to Amy’s work at the library, we are
quickly introduced to the twin mysteries at the heart of the book: the murder
of an elderly resident in the library archives and a decades-old murder that
brings Amy in close contact with her handsome new neighbour. There’s a nice
layering of the two (of course it all ends up connected) and while it starts
out confusing it does tie together nicely at the end.
I enjoyed reading this book – it’s a solid cosy mystery with
an interesting theme that actually helps solve the murder.
