Library director Lindsey Norris must solve a murder in her cozy Connecticut hometown before anyone else is checked out for good in this Library Lover’s mystery.

Carrie Rushton, the president of the Friends of the Library, has been accused of murdering her husband. The evidence is stacking up against Carrie, but neither Lindsey nor the Briar Creek crafternoon club is buying it.

When a nor'easter buries the small coastal town, the police are too busy digging out the locals to investigate the murder. With the help of her crafternoon friends and an abandoned puppy they name Heathcliff, Lindsey has to solve the question of who murdered Mr. Rushton before the killer closes the book on Carrie...

This is the second book in the The Library Lover's Mystery series. It was very entertaining. I hope audible makes the rest of the books available.

What made the experience of listening to Due or Die the most enjoyable?

Lindsey is a strong character, without being annoying. She uses her brain!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Definitely--I was not sure when Lindsey would wind up in the middle of things or how she would get herself out.

Have you listened to any of Allyson Ryan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first.

Any additional comments?

The perpetrator kind of came out of left field, which was both a pro and a con. I don't like to know whodunit from the first chapter, but I also don't like to go, "Wait. Who was that again?" Overall, this did not affect my desire to keep listening.

A woman with brains
