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 . . .
Another cracking murder mystery by Jenn McKinlay (if you love books and murder then please give this series a go!)
Lindsey and her staff are having to work with a new Library Board President (for some reason the well liked, nay loved! Milton Duffy was voted out), the problem is the new Board President (Olive Boyle) is NOT easy to work with, she is sly, manipulative and blackmailing (oh NOT for money but for prestige), when she threatens to sack both Lindsey and new hire Paula, Lindsey knows there will be trouble, oh add in the fact that with a week to go to the big fundraiser dinner Olive wants to change caterers, florist and band! Luckily Lindsey smoothes everything over, but the one thing she can't smooth is Olive herself. When the night of the dinner comes around Olive tries to stick the virtual knife into Lindsey and Paula again, only to end up with a real life knife in her at the end of the evening! Now with Paula as suspect number one, Lindsey needs to recant her promise not to butt into crime solving and figure out who (in a long list) went from loathing Olive to killing her.
