Librarian Carrie Singleton must catch a killer before she can say “I do” in the 8th delightful installment in Agatha Award-nominee Allison Brook’s Haunted Library mystery series.
Carrie Singleton is ready to kiss the single life goodbye. Her wedding to Dylan Avery is just a few weeks away, and a happy ending is about to be hers. But when a body is found on the lawn of their wedding venue, happily-ever-after is looking deadlier than ever.
The victim turns out to be Billy Carpenter, a young man recently released from prison after serving time for a bank robbery. The stolen money he’d buried is gone and Carrie and the police suspect Billy’s two alleged co-conspirators, his friends Luke Rizzo and Tino Valdez. But then Luke is murdered and Tino is nowhere to be found.
With no leads and only a week to go before her big day, Carrie is on the hunt for clues. She hopes to wrap up this investigation with a neat bow before she and Dylan tie the knot. Carrie has something old, something new, and something borrowed ready for her walk down the aisle. Now she needs to find the killer without becoming the ‘something blue.’
REVIEW
Booked on Murder, the 8th and final Haunted Library Mystery and I am sad to see this series come to an end. It has been a wonderful series to read from the beginning, and to watch Carrie and Dylan’s relationship grow to point where they get married. I would love to say the wedding went off without at hitch, but before they could tie the knot Carrie has one last mystery to solve.
A body is found on the lawn of their wedding venue who turns out to be a a young man recently released from prison after serving time for a bank robbery. Then when one of is robbery buddies also ends up dead, Carrie does everything she can to get to the investigation wrapped up so she can finally walk down the aisle and marry her love.
A brilliant end to a brilliant series and a series that I 100% recommend you read.
