Librarian Carrie Singleton is back on the case, alongside library ghost Evelyn, in the sixth installment of Agatha Award nominee Allison Brook’s Haunted Library mysteries.
Carrie Singleton is just off a hot string of murder cases centered around the spooky local library in Clover Ridge, Connecticut. She could really use a break—but no such luck, as she; Smoky Joe, the resident cat; and Evelyn, the library’s ghost, are drawn into another tantalizing whodunit.
First, a dead body is found in the basement of the building attached to the library, and it turns out to be Carrie’s fiancé’s Uncle Alec, who Dylan hasn’t seen in years. But Alec has no intention of truly checking out, and his ghost makes itself at home in the library, greatly upsetting the patrons. Carrie and Evelyn work hard to keep Alec out of sight, but what was he doing in Clover Ridge to begin with? And why was he killed?
Meanwhile, the town council, of which Carrie is also a member, is embroiled in a hot-headed debate over the fate of the Seabrook Preserve, a lovely and valuable piece of property that runs along Long Island Sound. Turn it into an upscale park? Sell it to a condo developer? Or keep it as protected land?
As the dispute rages, there’s another murder, this time involving a council member. Could the two murders be connected? And could Carrie be next on the hit list?
REVIEW
Carrie Singleton and the crew at the library are back in this sixth instalment of the Haunted Library Series from Allison Brook. The library acquired the building next door and there are plans to expand and have an auditorium, the build is getting underway when it comes to a crashing halt after the discover of a body. Carrie Singleton is adamant that she is not going to get involved with solving this murder mystery, but she ends up having no choice when the bodies ghost begs her for help! Once the identity of the body come to light as being her fiancé’s Uncle Alec, who Dylan hasn’t seen in years, she decides that she need to find out what happened to him and help him move on.
The architect and the construction company both missed the body during the walkthrough so question start to be asked of them and when a council member ends up dead it turns out that his death is connected to what happened to Alec. Carrie finds herself solving not one by two murders she has to be careful not end up in the sights of the murder.
How can she find the connection when Alec can’t remember much? And how can she bring justice for both men? Once again this was a great addition to the series.
