For fans of Miranda James and Jenn McKinlay comes an enthralling series debut featuring a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of a ghost in the stacks.

A Haunted Library Mystery

Death Overdue

With this mystery being hinged on a cold case and a building with a long history of its own, I'm reminded fondly of two other mystery series, the Lighthouse Library Mysteries by Eva Gates and the newly started Witch Way Librarian series by Angela M. Sanders.

Death Overdue by Allison Brook

Carrie moves to her aunt and uncle's town and begins a new job as Programming Coordinator at a library, which happens to be haunted by the spirit of a past librarian. During a programming event, a former detective, still investigating a cold case, is poisoned and dies. Carrie takes it upon herself to find the killer....as she believes one person committed both crimes. But will she be able to solve the case before putting herself in danger? This was a great cozy mystery and begins a new series. It had a good murder mystery, interesting characters, some romance, some book talk and other engaging aspects. I will continue this series. I borrowed this book from the public library.

Nothing much happened for like 75% of the book and then the needing and the whole story wrapped up too quickly. The main character was okay. I loved all other characters.

This was so good. I started it today for summerween and I just finished it 1 minute ago. Since I can't stop gushing about it it was so atmospheric and I just adored it. Loved how it was set in a library and I just loved it. I didn't know who the murder was until 5 pages before they figured it out. It was so well thought out and I loved it so much. I loved the characters and connected with the main character instantly. Okay..... now I am off to order the second one.

Her first major event is a program presented by a retired homicide detective, Al Buckley, who claims he knows who murdered Laura Foster, a much-loved part-time library aide who was bludgeoned to death fifteen years earlier. As he invites members of the audience to share stories about Laura, he suddenly keels over and dies. The medical examiner reveals that poison is what did him in and Carrie feels responsible for having surged forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie’s determined to discover who murdered the detective, convinced it’s the same man who killed Laura all those years ago. Luckily for Carrie, she has a friendly, knowledgeable ghost by her side. But as she questions the shadows surrounding Laura's case, disturbing secrets come to light and with each step Carrie takes, she gets closer to ending up like Al. Now it's due or die for Carrie in Death Overdue the delightful first in a new cozy series by Allison Brook.
