Death in the Stacks

A Library Lover's Mystery, Book 8

By: Jenn McKinlay

Narrated by: Allyson Ryan

In the latest Library Lover’s Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Better Late Than Never, the library’s big fund-raiser leaves director Lindsey Norris booked for trouble....

Lindsey Norris and her staff are gearing up for the Briar Creek Library’s annual Dinner in the Stacks fund-raiser. The night of dinner and dancing is not only a booklover’s dream—it’s the library’s biggest moneymaker of the year. But instead of raising funds, the new library board president is busy raising a stink and making the staff miserable.

Although Olive Boyle acts like a storybook villain, Lindsey is determined to work with her and make the event a success. But when Olive publicly threatens the library’s newest hire, Paula, Lindsey cracks like an old book spine and throws Olive out of the library.

The night of the fund-raiser, Lindsey dreads another altercation with Olive—but instead finds Paula crouched over Olive’s dead body. Paula may have secrets, but Lindsey and the rest of the crafternooners know she’s not the one who took Olive out of circulation. As the plot thickens, Lindsey must catch the real killer before the book closes on Paula’s future....

a good mystery

the story was interesting, characters well written well. however I would not consider this a cozy. it seemed too action packed, and the main character did the officers job too often.

Many Suspects

Good character development within this book. This is a good story! Nasty person meets unjustified end.

Loved the Crossover from other series!!

I loved having all the characters from Ms. McKinlay’s other series part of the this story.

Cozy as always

This is a fun series. I really love it & Jenn McKinlay in general. I do have to speed up the reading with the narrator. She’s pretty exacting in her speech, but no real complaints. She does well.
