The murders in St. Marin's Library's mystery section just got very real.
When the local librarian is found dead among the stacks, the rumors about his reputation reach a fever pitch. Harvey Beckett can't let a fellow book-lover's name be sullied, but when she drags her friends and her dogs into the investigation, she finds that it's more than just rumors she has to contend with.
Will Harvey's curiosity be the end of her this time
ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son Milo and a beautiful rescue hound who inspired Mayhem in her St. Marin's Cozy Mystery Series. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants. In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
